Creative Loafing Article for April 16, 2007

 YOU CHOOSE 

By Mary Anne Bowie, Sarasota Green Marketplace

You choose: Chlorine or not – in your swimming pool, in your shower, in your water, in your cleaning products. Harmful chemical out-gassing or not – from your wall paint, from your wood floors, from the carpet and carpet padding underneath. Petroleum or not – in your bed, in your waste and trash bags, in your disposable plastic cups. Genetically modified organisms or not – in your food.

Problem is – making the choice can be tough.  Sarasota Green Connection (SGC), a division of Sarasota Green Marketplace makes the choice much easier for you. There are over 200 SGC Approved local businesses that are committed to providing people safe and eco-friendly products to you. SGC’s motto is “Change Begins with Choice.”  Our change toward a safe future for people and the planet begins with the choices you make to buy products and services from SGC Approved Businesses.

Find SGC Approved Businesses at www.sarasotagreenconnection.com and in the 2005 Sarasota Green Pages™ and the 2008 Natural Awakenings Sarasota Green Pages, published jointly with Natural Awakenings. Natural Awakenings is our premier partner in sponsoring the monthly Sarasota Green World Café and other events and in publicizing SGC Approved Businesses.  I’m pleased that Creative Loafing has decided to join Sarasota Green Marketplace and Natural Awakenings in publicizing Sarasota Green Connection (SGC) Approved Businesses. Sarasota Green Connection is a division of Sarasota Green Marketplace located at 2864 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota, in the Gold Tree Plaza. Sarasota Green Marketplace is Sarasota’s only all green home and building retail store – “When you are ready to go green, we’re ready to help you, right now!” Open Tuesday thru Thursday, 10 am to 6 pm; and Friday and Saturday from 8 am to noon. www.sarasotagreenmarketplace.com
