Paris Bio Grocery Stores Google Map

View Paris Bio in a larger map

I am currently working on a Google Map showing all Bio grocery stores of Paris.

At the moment, only stores names and addresses are available, except the 24 Naturalia stores I still have to mark, but I would like to add more details in French and in English. I hope I can keep on the good work and update it once or twice a year.

One of my colleague, the other day: "Well, they say Bio products are not that good for us, only for the Earth". Yes, that's THE point, dummy!

Like Picking Up Trash In Dresses

The amount of trash we gather in such a short time is enormous. I am lazy and three big trash bags to take down from my 5th floor is annoying. There is one bag for the recyclable containers, paper etc., another one for my cat litter and the last one for the "regular" garbage. So I have decided, within reason, to avoid the more containers I can. Plastic ones come first!

A girlfriend of mine took me to "Lush", a store that sells soap by weight. It is made from fresh organic fruits and vegetables, using little or no preservatives and not tested on animals, only on humans - God bless them.

The store soaps are huge round slabs which you can have cut down to the size and weight you desire or you can chose one of the pre cut slices on top of the slab which are covered in paper with a label stating the weight and price.

I bought a bar of Sultana Of The Soap soap, it smells so good that it fills the bathroom air with a soft fruity scent.

But I also got myself a bar of Aromarant deo, yes deo. I was a bit skeptical when I left home to go to work last Monday but it all went well, pheew! Scents are lemon and sandalwood and with a sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) base to help absorb body odours. Though it is not an antiperspirant, I have adopted it.

No more liquid soap plastic dispensers or plastic refillers, no more plastic containers for the deo either!

And, I've saved the paper wraps for next time I go there. Hey, I realize we have to think about everything.

Going Green is a process. It should be obvious, natural, but it is really a way of life.
