  Serving people who care about their impact as consumers (5/5 green stars) When I first became vegetarian back in the 1987, this store was my go-to place and I think it deserves a lot of credit for being such a long-lived provider of healthy and ethical food and household items. From vegan meat substitutes to dried foods, organic teas, cruelty-free cosmetics, and alternative remedies, the store has a wide selection of items. Some of their prices seem reasonable – I compared a few prices for brand-name items and they are fairly competitive with even Amazon. However, others are a bit steep – especially some of their herbs and dried ingredients. This is strange as they are buying these in bulk and you’d imagine they could provide more competitive prices for these items than for the brand name products. However, even some of their bulk food items are reasonably-priced (organic brown risotto rice, an item I’ve never seen before, was €4.50 for 500 grams) so I think it’s a case of making sure you shop prudently. I’m giving them 5/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact. They stock some of the most ethical brands in each category – for example, Dr. Bronner’s for soap and Avalon Organics for shampoo. They also support a good number of Irish products such as Yogandha’s ethically sourced oils, Iswari organic foods, and Moodley Manor vegan protein products. It’s nice (and rare) to be able to walk into a store and find that most of the items are stocked because they have a positive social or environmental impact. This only tends to happen in small, independent health food stores and one or two chain stores like Whole Foods. It would be nice if they allowed you to use your own bag or container for bulk items – I’ll ask if this is possible on my next visit. Interested in writing green star reviews?
