terra20 to Turn Earth Day Into an Entire Month

North America's largest eco store, located in Ottawa, to focus on solutions to reduce landfill


OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 27, 2013) - Earth Day takes place on April 22, and people around the world take part in activities to raise awareness about our fragile planet. At terra20 sustainability is the focus every day, but especially during the month of April.

"With Earth Day coming up we obviously wanted to make a big deal of it. But, then again, why not go big and celebrate Earth Month?" said Bill Stewart, terra20 president.

Each week will be a celebration of easy ways to make a noticeable eco-change in your life, without breaking the bank or spending hours re-engineering your routine.

There will be in-store demonstrations, ask the expert visits, food sampling, product giveaways and much more, peaking with an augmented celebration on Saturday, April 20. That event will feature several local Ottawa vendors.

terra20 will be highlighting four focus areas both in-store and online, including cloth & alternative diapering, litterless lunch solutions, waste diversion, and the company's own ecobar, which offers cost-effective, free of harmful chemicals cleaning solutions in re-usable bottles.

The company will leverage social media and its blog to share in-depth information and fun facts, all with the goal of helping people on their journey to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

Visit the store at 2685 Iris Street (beside Ikea), or browse through the extensive on-line shop (http://shop.terra20.com/store/) to see for yourself.
