Are you an Ecoist?

"Every individual has the power to make a positive change in the world. We, as consumers, are the ones that create demand for electricity, cars, clothing, and everyday products and services that directly affect the health of our environment. The goal is not to eliminate the products and luxuries that are apart of our lifestyles, but to seek alternatives that satisfy our needs in a healthy and ecologically sound manner. We believe an individual can enjoy his or her lifestyle in harmony with the Earth. That’s why we came up with the term “Ecoist” and defined it as “an individual that lives a modern, eco-minded lifestyle”.
It is our quest to spread the message of Sustainability, and it is our vision that every consumer will become an “Ecoist”. We hope to inspire everyone to think differently about the things they buy, how they are made, and where they come from. We hope to make a difference." - Ecoist
