Resource Information List compiled by EarthWays Home

We have tried to identify local sources for environmentally-friendly products of interest to homeowners. Where few local sources exist, we have listed publications and web sites providing a variety of national and international resources. We hope this list will be helpful, though inclusion on this list does not signify endorsement by Missouri Botanical Garden or the EarthWays Home.
