Earth Day is upon us and there are many businesses out there supporting Mother Earth. Here is a short list of some businesses where I regularly shop.
It's Our Earth, Inc.
Located on Main Street in Wheaton. Owners Xristina and Richard Rahn have a passion for the environment and love to repurpose all kinds of things. This little shop has something for everyone, from new and old fashion to accessories, books, jewelry and more. My favorite purchase is my cloth wallet with peace symbol. Check them out online or stop in to see the entire selection.
Green Home Experts
Located on Oak Park Ave. in Oak Park. Owner Maria Moran opened Green Home Experts (GHE) just over one year ago. Her shop is full of great things for your home. Whether you are remodeling, working on your garden, or just looking for some green cleaning supplies, this is a great place to shop. I have been looking for environmentally responsible window shades and found some great choices at GHE's. Visit online or stop in for some expert advise from Maria.
Drew's Eatery
Located on Montrose in Chicago, this eatery is something special. Owner Andrew Baker has created a warm and wonderful place to get some great food that is also good for you and the environment. I stop frequently with my kids, who always ask for the organic shakes with organic whipped cream. But Drew's has a lot more than just shakes! Check them out online to see their entire menu. You can ride your bike and park it at the rack right out front.
There are many green businesses around Chicagoland. Please add your favorites. These are just a few that I regularly visit.
