Sustainability has taken an important role in my daily life. Even more so today –in my pandemic and post-pandemic routine – I try to find eco-conscious substitutes to my transportation, diet and even commonly used home equipment.
Whether you are a visitor in Mexico City looking for eco-friendly gifts to take back home or are a local looking for some sustainable replacements to implement in your lifestyle, Olivia Eco is a great place to start. Unlike other similar shops that I have come across in the city, Olivia Eco's prices are fair and everything they have to offer is of great quality. I would recommend visiting Olivia Eco before a long day of walking or sightseeing to get some delicious and zero waste snacks. Or even if you forgot to pack your water/coffee flask and extra cloth bags for carrying whatever you need during your stay at the city.
If you are a local, please consider stopping over at Olivia Eco; they have an extensive variety of personal care and home equipment like brooms, face towels, solid and refillable shampoo among other things that will help you reduce your ecological footprint.
