Eco Evolution Uniting & Supporting Fairfield County Artisans

Fairfield County, CT - Eco Evolution Co. is raising money to start up a new Creators Cooperative in Fairfield. They seek to encourage the community to shop local and buy from local artisans and creators based in Connecticut. Need a gift for a friend? Why buy a California-made candle on Amazon and have it shipped across the country, when we have amazing candle makers here in Connecticut? The state also has great jewelry makers, soap creators, designers — you name it. 

From an ecological standpoint, as a community, we reduce our carbon footprint by supporting local artisans. And Eco Evolution makes the shopping experience as convenient as Amazon. You buy online and they can even ship gifts to friends and family in plastic-free shipping. Want more of a retail experience? You will also be able to come into Eco Evolution's brick-and-mortar space and check everything out.      

Eco Evolution needs the community's support to make this approach as successful as it can be. Know an artisan you want to join the cooperative? Have them sign up here: Contact Information - Google Forms  Want to make this dream become a reality?  Their crowd funding page is here: Projects | ECOoperative: An Eco-Friendly Creators Cooperative | Patronicity  The funding raised through this campaign will help EE buy the cooperative’s fixtures, give free space and financial support to start-up artisans, provide a free venue for local refugee women creators, provide a workshop for the community by the artisans (who will get paid) and cover free participation by local youth.
