One of the best things about Sustainable NYC is that it is a little bit of everything. This eclectic shop in the equally eclectic East Village (139 Avenue A/ 9th Street ) of Manhattan is self-described as an emporium of “local, organic, recycled, fair-trade, re-purposed, biodegradable products and gifts.” And it’s not just the products that are eco-friendly at Sustainable NYC. The storefront itself is built from 300 year-old reclaimed lumber from NYC buildings, the wallpaper and paint are eco-approved, the furniture fixtures are recycled, and the outdoor sign is solar powered.

The Conscious Consumers Network is a division of ImagiMedia InterActive, Inc.; a privately held Internet development & multi-media production company. The Conscious Consumers’ Network was created to serve as a nexus of information & communication to help “make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or disadvantage to anyone.” (-R. Buckminster Fuller). Electronic media visionary Marshall McLuhan stated “The medium is the message.” Within the bounds of this web site, the message is the equation E=C2, (E equals C squared or “EnvironMENTALism = Conscious Consumerism). Additionally, we, the consumers are the equation, or at least the variable factor responsible for its product. My equation is an obvious play on Einstein’s E=MC2 equation on energy & matter. So, in the matter of how we expend our energy & consume goods & services, I say we all have a responsibility & we can do better for ourselves, our children, & our neighbors.
