Eco web and logo design blog

ecoki.com is a fresh, new eco-community, dedicated towards bringing you the best in sustainable living.

Confucius once said: “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it more complicated.” We keep that in mind at ecoki, whether it’s within our articles, the items in our shop, or even our layout. ecoki highlights the simple things in life, adds the newest in everything eco-related, and delivers a community to meet your green living lifestyle.

We know that each person has different interests, so we strive to provide information and updates in all areas, from the newest scientific breakthroughs through the latest eco-fashion fad.

We understand that families, individuals, organizations and companies are all moving towards a greener approach – whether we do our best to decrease our paper use, drive bicycles instead of automobiles, or enjoy a Fair-Trade morning coffee.

ecoki knows that sometimes things are easier said than done. You have ideas on what you can do to become greener, but do you really know the steps to get there?  Starting an organic vegetable garden seems like a great idea for fresher produce, chemical-free vegetables, and saving money – but what are the steps to building one? We have you covered – in addition to our many other easy-to-follow ideas  to make your life a little greener.

But we also are aware of “greenwashing”; eco-friendly doesn’t always mean that it’s better. With this in mind, we take the time and precautions to explore our ideas, sources, reviews, and articles before we post them. The ecoki team stands by its reviews, recommendations, and articles.

In addition to our articles, we also are constantly building our shop, delivering sustainable selections of the best eco-products. Using our standards, we choose ones that are truly “green”, often alongside a detailed review, you are aware of how planet-friendly your purchase will be.

We are always looking for contributors, whether you just have an idea or recommendations, you’re a conscious company interested in advertising, or a planet-friendly writer or blogger. Explore our site to see if you fit, and see our guidelines on how to connect.

Our mission is built around the idea of living a simple and sustainable life; we pride ourselves with bringing you up-to-date news, tips and ideas, and the latest in eco-trends. We believe that creating and maintaining our eco-ethos, and delivering to our readers, is what makes ecoki what it is. Many thanks to wefunction for working with us on the design.
