What is Sustainability Store?

By making informed purchasing decisions that favor sustainable business practices, you help foster a better future by expanding the market for sustainably produced products and services.

Since 1999, our goal has been to link leaders in sustainability with learners, customers and decision makers. We believe these connections create change.

Our services are free. Every day, people like you send us suggestions for new listings in Sustainability Store. We review every suggestion to look for leaders in sustainability. Every new listing is also invited to apply for Sustainability Store's Star Award and World Award. These awards convey exemplary progress in environmental and social responsibility.

There are two ways to explore Sustainability Store. When you BROWSE the Directory, you can scan or search our giant database of retailers, service providers and organizations working to create a sustainable future. Every listing in Sustainability Store's Directory has been carefully reviewed for inclusion. These are the best resources we know of for advancing sustainability.

When you SHOP Sustainability Store, you enter our online store featuring thousands of products from some of our favorite sustainable businesses. The store is actually linked directly to each company, so your shopping cart and purchases go directly to them. We are not a middle-person or reseller.

Sustainability Store is a place where you can locate retailers, service providers and organizations who are leaders in environmental and social responsibility. You can find fair trade clothing, organic health and beauty products, environmental gifts, non-toxic household goods, renewable energy suppliers, carbon offsetting services, sustainable building products and much more. We also provide access to news and blogs on sustainability movements, green issues, recycling, energy efficiency and climate change.

Sustainability Store was founded by John Aebi-Magee in 1999 and is made possible through the help of individuals like yourself. Please consider helping us by suggesting new listings, reporting bad links or providing a link to our site from your own web site.

"Every time you make a purchase, the money that leaves your hands goes to work. Too often, this means your dollars exploit workers here and abroad, abandon hard-hit communities and dump toxins into our environment. But it doesn't have to be this way. Your purchases can support businesses that create jobs, care about their communities, engage in fair trade and protect our environment." (from Co-op America)
