Buying local has many benefits for consumers and the environment. Apart from supporting small businesses and fair trade, you will indirectly reduce your carbon footprint, as the products you buy do not have to travel long distances and consume more fuel for transportation. Locally grown produce is fresh, costs less, and is more nutrient rich. It saves you money and keeps you healthy. Most eco products are made from environmentally friendly materials, without the use of harmful chemicals, which cause soil degradation and water pollution. We strongly encourage local, organic, and sustainable shopping. Fortunately, there has been a rise in the number of sustainable businesses in the UAE over the last few years. We still have a long way to go, but at least there are some options for consumers wanting to go green. If you are interested in buying local or switching to natural, eco friendly consumerism, below are some options for residents of the UAE. Simply click on the links to explore the products. We will keep updating this page as and when we come across a new business.
