The Green Living Guides

No more guesswork required. The Green Living Guides are the most comprehensive listing of places to shop, eat and live green. This Canadian directory of shops, restaurants, services and resources allows you to sort by city, category and subcategory to find the products and services that will help you make a difference.

In every sector of your life, the Green Living Guides will help direct you to the places that offer third party certified products (organic and fair-trade) that are locally-made and toxic-free. Each store or service is listed with a customized description to tell you exactly what you can expect - from grocery stores to spas, eco-minded fashion, cosmetics and gear for you and your kids not to mention the best green home essentials to make sustainable decorating a breeze. The Guides are also a convenient, city-specific resource of green building contractors and renewable energy experts to help you transform or renovate your home with innovative new energy-saving technologies. Our detailed food section has also mapped the Farmers' Markets, community gardens and gourmet shops and restos for your holistic eating pleasure. Learn about the sustainable transportation, services and resources in your own city - you’ll be amazed by how many greener options there are in your community once you have the right guide.

Each store or service has been reviewed to meet Green Living's criteria for offering consumers truly green alternatives to conventional products. Our research team looked for indicators that companies were committed to protecting the environment including steps taken to source materials sustainably, to reduce energy use and waste in operations, as well as showing efforts at implementing life-cycle approaches to services and/or product stewardship.
