There's a growing network of businesses and not-for-profit organisations working hard for all the right reasons.
Check out these avenues if you want to spend your money with people who are as keen as you to further sustainability.
A good place to start is to check out Paddington's Green Precinct, which showcases Paddington's socially and environmentally conscious businesses. The Green Precinct is a group of small, independently owned businesses aiming to foster a greener, more sustainable economy and hoping to inspire people to reduce their ecological footprint.

Trying to head into more sustainable ways to move around? Drop in to Epic Cycles. Their goal is to help people make the transition to a form of transport more suited to our small planet. They're experienced road and mountain bike users but, hey, we all love the enticing range of retro bikes making their way back on to the streets. Check out the one pictured - the Africa bike - for every two sold, one gets sent to Africa!
Biome Eco Stores are lots of fun. Carrying eco-friendly choices for your home, body and soul, you can spend ages pottering around in their Paddington or City stores. From green cleaning products to personal care items and fun gifts, you'll find something for most people. Don't forget the organic, fair trade chocolate!

Now you've got that gorgeous eco-outfit from Bliss, make sure your make-up matches your eco-ethos. Vitale Organic Beauty carry over 15 ranges of organic skin care, as well as providing certified organic beauty therapy and facials, chemical-free waxing and stunning mineral make-up.
One of our favourite destinations is The Cruelty Free Shop - a web-based one-stop shop for vegan living. From personal products to baby and animal care, as well as books and DVDs, The Cruelty Free Shop can help you to reduce your ecological footprint by counting down on your animal-based products. And, of course, our favourites are the yummy vegan treats in the food section.
