Earth Angel - New Zealand's Sustainability Product And Book Webstore

www.earthangel.co.nz


Earth Angel is New Zealand’s foremost sustainability web store that assists businesses and households to take action towards a sustainable future. Earth Angel offers an incredible range of products, including beautiful recycled glass platters, potatopak plates and wooden cutlery, food waste bins with biobags made from corn starch, worm farms, green cone food digester, organic t-shirts, modern cloth nappies, recycled paper stationery, safer cleaners, ecotanka stainless steel drink bottles, laundry balls and books on sustainable living.

Their best sellers are worm farms, which come with live worms too! All are available to purchase online and are delivered to the customer’s door. A worm farm can reduce around half a household’s waste to landfill and around twenty percent for an office. Installing a worm farm can also be a great way to gain buy-in from staff before implementing other sustainability initiatives – they love to take the worm castings and liquid home for their gardens.

Ruth and Michelle have both been passionate and motivated about sharing knowledge with others around adopting sustainable practices and ideas that people can implement in their homes and businesses. Michelle runs the website and a ‘hotline’ for all customers of Earth Angel who have purchased a worm farm so she can assist in ensuring the farm is doing what it should do best. They are firm believers in following your passion and doing what makes you proud.

The pair has noticed that many New Zealanders are willing to make small, practical changes such as reducing their use of various plastics, switching off plugs and either composting or recycling more waste. All these small steps add up and make a difference.

Earth Angel are active participants in many lifestyle expos, which they feel is a perfect opportunity to get out there and speak to people about small changes they can make to reduce  waste and add more back to the environment.

Earth Angel is a member of the Sustainable Business Network.
