Once again, the Ottawa eco-fair was fantastic with many great vendors and organizations with various expertise. There were many of the same booths as last year as well as a few new additions. The fair represented a great deal of the important different fields from eco-living initiatives. From energy to retail, everything was pretty well covered.

I did find a few especially interesting booths this year. The first was The Healthiest Home which provides green home renovations in Ottawa. They had a few different samples of cork flooring which were just beautiful. It is really great that they are providing these types of products as they can be very hard to find in many cities. Ottawa is lucky to have a green home renovations store.

So more on the cork flooring, the person working at the booth was kind enough to let us take a few pictures for the blog so we could show you how nice it was. Thanks Rebecca!

Another amazing product they had was recycled glass tiles. Now, imagine a bunch of glass bottles melted down and made into tiles. Not very appealing. That is why we took a picture. These tiles were absolutely amazing!

These are only a few of the products from The Healthiest Home. If you are looking at renovating your home and being eco-friendly, you should definately check out their shop.

The second booth that I found very interesting…to be continued.

The eco-fair is back in Ottawa. It is being held at the RA centre on Saturday April 18th, 2009 and will run from 10am – 5pm. The official website is Ottawa Eco-Fair.

Last year, they had plenty of great exhibits and booths and I expect that this year won’t be any different. We will be there to check out all the new products and services in Ottawa so if you can’t make it check back in a few days and we will post a few of the highlights. Hope to see you there!

The address is: 2451 Riverside Drive, Ottawa, Ontario

I have been looking for biodegreadable liquid hand soap in eco-friendly packaging for a few months and finally, I have found it.

Let me start off by saying, maybe I am a bad person for liking the liquid hand soaps and I should probably be using bars if I am trying to be green.

Continuing on. The hand soap is made by Method and comes in a one liter container. Looks a lot like a tetra pack and appears to reduce waste in comparison to typical plastic refill bottles.

I found it at Loblaws but I know Canadian Tire also carries some Method products. It appears to be widely available. According to their website you can find Method products at stores like Costco, Safeway, Sobey’s, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc…

Just though I would share. If you have any other alternatives, please add them in comments.
