Our Sustainability Promise
Making a Real Impact, One Step at a Time
At Eco Evolution, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's woven into every decision we make. From the products we curate to how we ship them, from the milk we serve in the coffee bar to the weekly compost pickups, we're committed to creating positive environmental and social impact. Here's exactly how we're doing it.
🌍 Carbon-Neutral Shipping Through Shopify Planet
Every order you place with us ships carbon-neutral. We've offset over 200 kg of shipping emissions through our enrollment in Shopify Planet's Millennium Plan—the highest commitment tier available. We cover 100% of the offset costs ourselves, so you can shop guilt-free knowing your purchase isn't adding to the climate crisis.
Want to see our real-time impact? Our carbon offset counter continues to grow with every shipment.
🤝 Supporting Local & Diverse Artisans
We believe in putting our dollars where our values are. Our curated collection features:
- 40 Connecticut-based artisans creating unique, handcrafted goods
- 70% women-owned businesses leading the way in sustainable entrepreneurship
- 17% BIPOC-owned businesses bringing diverse perspectives and creativity to our shelves
When you shop with us, you're directly supporting small makers and underrepresented entrepreneurs in our community.
♻️ Low-Waste Initiatives
Our South Norwalk (SoNo) store features a soap refill station where customers can bring their own containers and refill premium, eco-friendly soaps—reducing single-use plastic one pump at a time. We also run a sustainable coffee shop that prioritizes compostable materials and locally-sourced ingredients.
💚 The Eco Dude's Journey
Our founder's commitment to sustainability started long before Eco Evolution. From serving in the Peace Corps to humanitarian work around the globe, the journey has always been about making the world a little better. The philosophy that guides us? "Progress is better than perfection."
We're not perfect, and we don't claim to be. But we're committed to continuous improvement, transparency, and doing better every single day.
📊 Our Commitment to Transparency
We review our impact metrics annually and share them openly. No greenwashing, no vague claims—just honest discussions about what we're doing and where we're headed.
