Green purchasing made easy

Going Green Solutions is a family run business whose aim is to make it easy for businesses & households alike to purchase sustainable products. Going Green Solutions evolved from our own desire to integrate a more sustainable and healthy way of living into our home, work and lifestyle. We found there were many fantastic and innovative products available to suit our needs but that we had to search high and low for them! We wanted to source all of these things in one place - and this is what we now offer to you, via our online eco-store and shop-front in Hurstbridge. We help make your own green purchasing journey easy for you, by supplying a complete range of sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives in one place, that we hope will meet most of your everyday needs. www.goinggreensolutions.com.au
