As environmental issues get more play in the mainstream, p’lovers, the environmental department store in Park Lane, is “raising the bar” on the criteria for the products they carry, according to store co-owner Ann Caverzan. “Most of our personal care products are certified organic, our women’s and men’s clothing is either organic, hemp, bamboo, soy or reused materials,” she says, also mentioning their variety of organic baby clothing, bedding and skincare items. “A new Canadian-made reusable diaper is making moms very happy. More and more our products are Canadian-made or made in North America, with locally made our first choice!”
