Earth Day Pancake Breakfast a Fundraising Success!

The 7th annual Earth Day Pancake Breakfast in Tofino on the April 25th 'Earth Day Weekend' was a fund raising success for the Raincoast Education Society. $747.31 was raised for the organization, which is a society that hosts educational programs in environmental education and stewardship in the town of Tofino. The Earth Day pancake breakfast is an annual event in Tofino that was started by ecoeverything's owner Gord Johns. The event has, in the last 3 years, blossomed into a full Earth Day Weekend.

A Thank You to Kama Soap

Kama Soap has been a staple at the Fiber Options Naturals and Ecoeverything Stores for over a decade. The fragrant scent of the all natural soaps has become the familiar and inviting aroma that our customers associate with our stores.

The soaps are handmade with all natural ingredients on Saltspring Island. If you visit the Ganges Market in the summer time, you may recognize the brand, as they have been a staple vendor there for years as well. Our customers LOVE Kama soaps. The moisturizing and long lasting properties of the soap (along with the amazing scents) are what keep our regular soap customers returning again and again. While the Mint Tea Tree seems to be the most popular, Kama Soaps creates a plethora of over a dozen decadent kinds of soaps. All are made with different herbs and grains to add colour and texture, and a large amount of essential oils so that you are not left guessing which soap is which!

We are profiling Kama Soaps here on our blog for two reasons. We would like to first acknowledge the amazing quality of product that Sharon and her team have provided us since 1998. As well, we would like to provide them with a formal thank you for their contribution to our Victoria Earth Day 2009 Green Goodie Giveaway. They partnered with us to provide over 200 customers with free Kama Soap Tote Bags, and free Kama Bars of Soap! The Earth Day Celebration was a huge success, as it created awareness about Earth Day in an extremely fun way!

Kama Soaps are available at Fiber Options Naturals Tofino, and Fiber Options Naturals Victoria. Small and Large bars are available, as well as an assortment of bath salts, soaps on a rope, and specialty baby and complexion bars.

If you would like to order products through Fiber Options Naturals, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-381-2138 or email us at contact@ecoeverything.com
