Greener Country is a Green Store on Long Island

Greener Country, a retail store for environmentally preferable products, will celebrate its second grand opening on Sunday, August 1st in Bohemia NY. The new retail outlet is located at 850 Lincoln Ave, Suite 15, in Bohemia, New York, off Exit 60 south on the LIE or Exit 50 north from Sunrise Highway. The web site for the store is www.greenercountry.com.

“A research study proved what we suspected; that Long Island consumers are interested in environmentally preferable products. We offer green and fair-trade products which are hard to find locally, along with everyday items like cleaning agents and bath products. We have solar backpacks, rain barrels, and kitchen composters on display. Things you won’t find anywhere else,” said Robert Meinke, proprietor of Greener Country along with his wife, Maria Brandis.

Like Greener Country’s online store, www.greenercountry.com, the store will offers energy-efficient lighting, recycled and biodegradable office supplies, fair-trade jewelry, handbags and home goods made from recycled and sustainable materials, solar and rechargeable products, and composting and garden supplies. Contractors can also purchase building supplies such as paneling, adhesives, zero VOC (volatile organic compound) paint, and moulding made from sustainable materials. Many product suppliers have received Green America’s Business Seal of Approval. Green America is a non-profit member organization that identifies businesses that have made firm commitments to sustainable, socially-just principles, including the support of sweatshop-free labor, organic farms, fair trade, and cruelty-free products.

 To benefit local companies, Greener Country sources vendors and products locally, where available. As an example, the Friendship Gift BagTM, a re-usable gift bag, is a product of Simply Re-Gift It in Wantagh.  

Greener Country is also committed to providing education on how consumers can become more aware of the many ways consumers affect the environment through the purchasing decisions they make. Product information and instructional videos for projects such as composting and rain barrel installation are on display in the store. Demonstrations and lectures are presented at the store. Environmental organizations are encouraged to contact the store to schedule speakers.
