3 Eco-Stores in Goa!
We are extremely proud to have 3 eco-stores in our small state! Check out Green Essentials, Earthworm and Canopy. All these stores promote sustainable, low-environmental-impact consumerism. Earthworm, in addition to bringing these green alternative products to our lifestyles, also showcases products from fair-trade organizations, self-help groups and traditional artisans to sustain local arts culture. Green Essentials promotes products that are ‘truly green’ and have the lowest environmental impact. Canopy also organizes eco-hikes, boat safaris and bird and small animal watching tours. Green Essentials was started by two passionate environmentalists, Karan and Yogita. Earthworm is promoted by Roopa Bandekar, a nature lover, and Nirmal Kulkarni, a wildlife photographer and Western Ghat ecologist whereas Canopy is run by the young and effable brothers, Pankaj and Gaurish Lad.
