SUPPLIERS - product journey

GREEN ROSES ECHO  - Welcomes all my suppliers.  Hours sourcing individuals and small business with values that share our commitment to quality and sustainability has culminated in a fresh range of products we are proud to present - each company and small business partnership built on trust and transparency.

GRE's Owner-Manager drew from an interest in Sustainability - reading, workshops, networking etc, to collate this fabulous array of products from creators who love our earth, go to all ends to create, produce and send a message themselves - a platform from which to emanate the real beauty in and behind the products and their ethical business practice.

MOST SUPPLIERS don't stop there, juggling families, they also seek renewable resources from which to create their own product, while also giving time and resources toward causes close to their hearts, and from which their businesses bear goods.  In searching out their raw materials etc, they are often creating or joining Communities (both NZ and offshore) in the process.  True lifecycle of loving our earth.

ECO-SUSTAINABLE business foundations vary from bio-technology (products made from new renewable resources) through to common garden compost and beyond (waste - decomposition - regeneration), and all the steps inbetween - endeavouring to improve life on earth.  Your can live and breathe it, or choose one thing - like a ripple in a pond.  if everybody does this, whether it be personal practices and choices, buying and consuming better products, being the guru of all things green, or a goddess of change - it counts, we will all prosper.

MY ECOLOGICAL VISION accepted a great deal of focus is required to pull the organics together, from my heart I can tell you it is easy when the message is clear - We have to look after our Planet - it may be the only one we have!

GREEN ROSES ECHO's list is forgiving, empowering and encompassing.  Opting to highlight my suppliers strengths, allowing them to champion their own products - from the latest bio-tech discovery, plastic-free, recyclable, reusable, regenerative, sustainable, to zero-waste etc... this is their gift to you, it shines in their product, their ethos glows, emanates warmth, wisdom and knowledge via the blessings they bring to the table - improving life around them in a drop.

HOPING THIS WARMS A FEW Dolphin & Whale hearts - it's hard work, any relationship is - constant sharing and input, contributions over and above your personal and business output matter - whether it's profit, visiting, actively engaging, or setting up a community project - it all counts, and it uses all people's most precious commodity - time.

STICKER DOT, NZ - Label printing - logo marketing.

[not being game enough to attempt No Logo]  Barely a green word on site, small quantities and noticeable choices speak more.

GRE Nb:  Years of hunting printers that use eco-friendly card and paper products has proved quite elusive, even in Auckland - vegetable dyes a no-go for so long.  What to do? You can champion a different clear winner (time and resources), that may eventually pull through on the eco-scale - hard call on industry so machine based - expensive outlays, slow turning wheels - but technology changes.        www.stickerdot.com
