With Earth Day right around the corner, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news that’s going to make shopping for eco-friendly products a whole lot easier! On April 22nd GreenCupboards.com will be unveiling 20 new “Eco-Traits” that will allow you to shop according to your terms and specifications. Ranging from organic, kosher, or toxin-free to recyclable, energy efficient or handmade- you will have the ability to sort any brand or category using these traits to find the products that match your eco-friendly goals and lifestyle!
