The Newsletter – August 2009

Word of the Month: Beautiful
What the Word Beautiful Means To Us at Carbon Environmental: Beautiful is a word we use here at the store not only to describe how visually pleasing an item is, but also to describe its inherent goodness. Is the item safe? Has it been consciously designed? Did the workers who made the product earn enough to support themselves and their families? Does the item lessen planetary impacts? If a product can answer these questions in the affirmative then, to us, it is a thing of beauty inside and out. Look for the purposeful use of the word beautiful throughout this newsletter.
Verdantly yours,
Allison

Back To School: Returning to the September to June Routine
Like ringing in the New Year, September is a time of beginnings: new schedules, new routines, resolute ideas. We are happy to offer a number of beautiful items to our store’s collection to celebrate this time of year with smart, green ideas – new school and lunch supplies, yes, but also many other new products will grace our shelves.

To Market! To Market! Jiggedy Jig!
Did you know that the 104th Street Promenade is home to the Downtown Farmer’s Market? Every Saturday up to and including October 10th dozens of vendors are just outside Carbon’s front doors from 9am to 3pm. The market is a gorgeous way to enjoy a few hours experiencing fresh, local produce, homemade delicacies and handmade treasures under the canopy of the sky. Carbon is a loud cheerleader in the support of local farmers. Hurray for farmers! Three cheers for labour! We’re loco for local!!

We are very pleased to announce that Carbon Environmental has welcomed a new member to our staff. Cheri has joined the Carbon family as Store Manager. We absolutely adore her, and we know you will too!
