Thank you for visiting our eco-policy. We are striving to reduce our business’ impact on the environment by adhering to a few simple guidelines.

  • Mama Goddess is proud to carry Organic, Sweat Shop free and Fairly Traded teas, chocolate and fabrics in our store.
  • We are also committed to using 100% Recycled and organic products wherever possible. What this means is that we re-use every box that brings our products in through our doors, sending them back out again to you!
  • We also shred all of our already recycled paper that comes out of the office to reduce waste and recycle it again.
  • All of the bottles we use to package our aromatherapy line, are made from Recycled plastic,so you can pop them into your bin once they are empty!
  • Working from home also allows us the ability to lift our carbon footprint off of the planet just that little bit more, there is no fuel involved {Unless you count coffee} as we walk up the stairs to the office every morning! At Mama Goddess it is our mission to carry as many “locally made” products as possible, and to make sure that the products we do bring in from other parts of Canada and the US, fit out policy of being Sweat Shop free and as Organic as possible.This means less fuel needed to get products from there to here. Some of our suppliers even deliver on bike!

What does Sweat Shop Free mean?

Using sweat shop free products means that the people hired to assist in the production of the product, as in cutting sewing and general making of it, are paid a decent hourly wage and are not made to work under extreme conditions. These workers are given hourly breaks and holidays like everyone else. Mama Goddess was concerned about was the age of workers making any/all of our products. Therefore sweat shop free also means to us, that any person working on our clothing is not a child. for more information you can visit: www.nosweatapparel.com

What does Fair trade mean?

Fair Trade helps family farmers in developing countries to gain direct access to international markets, as well as to develop the business capacity necessary to compete in the global marketplace. By learning how to market their own harvests, Fair Trade farmers are able to bootstrap their own businesses and receive a fair price for their products. This leads to higher family living standards, thriving communities and more sustainable farming practices. Fair Trade empowers farming families to take care of themselves – without developing dependency on foreign aid.

What does organic mean?
Before a product can be labeled “organic” a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the necessary organic standards. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals “that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredient
