Interested in Living a More Sustainable Life? Consider becoming a member of The Growing Green Co-op! Member benefits include participation in a state-wide delivery of sustainable goods - biofuels, local produce, organic bulk foods, raw food to go boxes, toxic free house cleaning products, organic linens, eco-friendly body care lines and other "green" products/services will be delivered to co-op members state-wide starting this July that will grow our local economy.
It has become clear that the challenges that now face our cities and the world at large require fresh innovative ideas and solutions that need to be considered on the local level with individual participation. Global issues of our times are local issues of our times. Our platform is based on a foundation of community and family values, a strong thriving local economy, access to quality healthy and locally grown foods, alternatives in education and healthcare and the belief that Hartford should be a "green" city. We propose practical, simple solutions that connect people back to the earth, to where their food comes from and to each other. The very idea that this kind of thinking is expensive and impractical in the real world is outdated. The future of affordable smart technology is here, we need only participate.
