Somewhat Green

Somewhat Green was established in Invercargill in 2018. The NZ eco store was born out of a desire to be more environmentally conscious without the pressure of being a perfect environmentalist. Owner Tracey realised that if you pay that little bit more for quality, it’s usually cheaper in the long run and better for the planet.

Somewhat Green is of the firm belief that everyone has their own environmental journey that is right for them. People doing small things create ripples of change. For these ripples of change to occur, people need to be comfortable doing whatever their time, energy, and budget allow. This will result in long-lasting change, which is what Somewhat Green wants for everyone.

Somewhat Green believes in high-quality products as alternatives to cheap, low-quality, single-use products that end up straight in the landfill. Such environmentally friendly products include eco cups, organic food, sustainable books, and more. These products may cost more upfront, but just by being high-quality and long-lasting, they are better for the environment. Plus, they’ll cost you less in the long run.

The team at Somewhat Green likes to work with businesses that have an environmental focus. Their products are either made from eco-friendly materials or use eco-friendly production methods. This indicates that employees and suppliers of the manufacturer are treated ethically.
