Finding green, and within easy reach
To the average consumer, buying ‘green’, eco-friendly products has often been a conscious, dedicated choice. In fact, if we’re talking food products and groceries, the prevailing assumption is that descriptors such as organic, all-natural, and free-range imply that the items are pricier, more expensive. So it’s no wonder that these same consumers will often equate green retail products as something elitist, or reserved for the higher end of the consumer market.
