Organic Household Goods
Detergents You can buy Spanish brands of ecological detergents in the Herbolarios. The brand 'Ecover' which is so common in the UK, is much less common in Spain, although I do occasionally see it in Health Food Shops (Herbolarios). La Tienda Verde, north-west of Murcia (C/ Andrés Segovia, 55. Tel: 968 62 31 83) is one herbolario which has a wide range of Ecover products. Carrefour to a great range of Eco cleaning products at reasonable prices which I buy myself, including washing up liquid, laundry detergent and cleaners. Toilet Paper: It is possible to buy toilet paper that is made from recycled paper from Aldi. Look for the label 'reciclado'. Recently someone commented to me that there is not much point in recycling paper if we don´t buy recycled paper products ourselves and toilet paper from recycled sources seems a great way of using recycled paper. Organic Personal Products It is possible to buy organic shampoo, soap, mositurisers etc. from the Herbolarios and Alid have a range of more eco friendly products, such as shampoo and conditioner. |
