Where to get it in Manitoba

You've decided to make a change.  Or maybe you want to at least try something for the first time, like non-toxic cleaners or recycled paper.  Perhaps you're looking for a place to finally find that item you can't seem to locate anywhere else. 

The following list is in development, and we will be adding categories and entries on an ongoing basis. If you have found an environmentally-friendly business, product or service that others might want to know about, please tell us so that we can share the information through this page. E-mail to rcm[at]resourceconservation.mb.ca.
