Support Rain FOREST and GET 20% OFF ALL NOVEMBER LONG on all New Chapter products in store!!! We are happy to tell you about an exciting new project happening during November at the store. We are partnering with New Chapter, a fellow B Corporation, to raise awareness about an important issue that affects the future of our entire planet: rain forest conservation. A key component of the mandate of B Corporations is to take action to further environmental sustainability and preservation. This November, Okotoks Natural Foods Market for Children’s Eternal Rainforest, a project started in 1987 by a group of Swedish schoolchildren to protect the rainforests of Costa Rica. These children began a worldwide effort to gather funds to purchase parcels of rainforest in Costa Rica, protecting its priceless natural treasures. Their efforts quickly gained international attention and people from over 40 countries joined the cause. Today, Friends of the Children’s Eternal Rainforest protects over 55,000 acres of previously threatened forests. CRITICAL CONSERVATION Rainforests are a crucial part of the global ecosystem; they are home to over 30 million varieties of plants and animals. Although rainforests cover only six percent of the planet, they play a very important role for migratory species, vulnerable plant life, and indigenous communities. New Chapter is committed to protect the rainforest and works closely with Friends of the Children’s Eternal Rainforest to purchase and donate land. Environmental sustainability and support of the conservation of global forests has always been an ongoing effort for Okotoks Natural Foods Market . We ensure that any product we sell that is sourced from the rainforest is harvested in an ethical way. We encourage you to read the enclosed issue of The Good Life magazine which features an article on preserving rainforests as well as Canada’s boreal forest.
