I have just discovered a wonderful eco-conscious online shop~ and just in time for all of my holiday shopping! Every Little Bit is a great place to shop for all your green gifts this year. They have a pages and pages dedicated to Green Christmas ideas. They have clever green stocking stuffers, gorgeous Christmas ornaments, and lovely and unique toys for all ages. Every Little Bit also carries eco-conscious greeting cards and gift wrapping supplies. This shop really does have every little bit that you need to be green.

Besides a huge array of gift ideas and toys, Every Little Bit carries many wonderful eco-conscious and green living products. I especially love their litter-less lunch ideas, gorgeous organic clothing, diapers, skin and hair care products, personal care products, and green office supplies. They even have natural pet care products, which as an animal lover I know can be hard to find. Every Little Bit also has a great selection of natural cleaners from trusted brands. I honestly cant think of anything that they don’t have, Every Little Bit is a one stop shop for all your green needs. (more…)

Growing up, I was never one of those girls who dreamed of getting married and having children; in fact it didn’t cross my mind much at all. Not that I didn’t think I would or wouldn’t, but rather I just didn’t really think about it at all. I had a vision that family was just something that happened naturally and I was more focused on my professional success; I think I was taking my family for granted even before I had one.

Although I enjoyed work immensely, and worked hard at university – completing two bachelors degrees in both English and Psychology – I felt a void in my life that didn’t seem to be filled by career or educational success.

Then I met Ray; we had a fast romance…from friendship to dating to marriage. We hadn’t really decided on children; we figured we might some day but we were busy working hard, travelling and just enjoying ourselves. He wasoct_09_meaghan addicted to his job and I was done schooling and moved on to a variety of social activities. I began volunteering for an amazing organization (Soroptimist) jumping right in as Treasurer and then President for two years, I was training for and running in marathons every chance I got and I was becoming increasingly interested and active in environmental issues, all the while slowly changing the way my husband and I were treating the planet.

News Release – Every Little Bit introduces new one stop shop for eco-friendly products

Every Little Bit introduces new one-stop shop for eco-friendly products

Every Little Bit Eco-Shop announces launch of www.everylittlebitgreen.com, an online source for everyday products, conveniently green.

Port Moody, BC, Canada, November 30, 2008 –  Every Little Bit , a new online store featuring everyday-use, eco-friendly products, opened its e-doors this morning.  With a wide variety of eco-friendly products, ranging from personal care items to organic cotton clothing to household necessities and toys, Every Little Bit carries a blend of sustainably made, yet stylish products.   Founded by Alison Ferguson and Meaghan Relkie, the company offers customers a stress-free shopping environment, including detailed product descriptions and a specific product eco-rating for each product, to help consumers with their “green IQ”.   The company was formed to specifically help the more mainstream consumer start shopping “green” without experiencing a significant increase in price, or sacrificing style. 

 The website www.everylittlebitgreen.com went live this morning to positive customer reviews.  Clare Adams of Port Coquitlam remarked “I’ve been trying more eco-friendly products over the last year, but I’ve got to admit, up to now, most of the sites I’ve been to have been a little too “granola” for me.  I like the variety of products at Every Little Bit, the ease of site navigation and the education available, from the general articles, to the wealth of product information and eco-ratings”.  Andrea Davy of Prince George agrees  “I like the notion of “every little bit”, that small choices can make a difference.  It doesn’t need to be all or nothing.”

Vice-President of Product Strategy for Every Little Bit, Meaghan Relkie commented “It was getting increasingly hard to find eco-friendly products without ordering from the US or from multiple sites,  or drive across town to find special products.”  Demand for eco-friendly products continues to rise, according to Mintel Research, with certain segments, like ethical personal care, experiencing astronomical growth (5.2B in 2007 in the US).   “People are interested in making healthy choices for their families, yet its got to be easy and convenient to make those choices.  There’s not a lot of general purpose stores out there offering eco-friendly products for a whole family’s needs, so that’s how Every Little Bit emerged” said Relkie. “We conducted numerous focus groups leading up to the launch, ensuring our product mix would meet our target market needs.  And judging by the traffic and sales so far, we’re on the right track.”
