Saving For Change offers members 10% discount, 2% rebated back to Ecology Ottawa[/caption]
Guest post by Pamela Tourigny, terra20
terra20, North America’s most extensive eco retailer, opened in Ottawa last September. Owned by local Ottawa entrepreneurs, terra20 offers more than 12,000 products, in categories including cleaning, personal care, apparel, home solutions, and kitchen.
Just inside terra20’s main entrance, we have our core promises etched onto the wall. Those include:
We will
- carry the healthiest, most environmentally sound products that we can find- until we find better ones
- empower our customers to become our partners in seeking out the best products
- never stop working with our vendors to find a better way
- create a shopping experience that is human, transparent, and above all, easy.
- support your journey to knowledge and understanding
- never encourage you to buy more than you need or at more expense than you can afford
- listen and learn; we will build and we will change, we will explore a better way.
terra20 will also give back to Ecology Ottawa 2% of all purchases made by its supporters. In other words, by making purchases you’d normally make, you will also be supporting Ecology Ottawa’s programs.
As an incentive to Ecology Ottawa Supporters, the first 25 sign-ups will be entered in a draw to win a $100 terra20 gift card.
