The Green Directive — Local services in Monterey

Being kind to the planet shouldn't break the bank and that's why I love that The Green Directive's sustainable living products are high quality but also fairly priced. If you're looking for ways you can do your part to take care of our environment, Monterey Bay, and our global ocean, this is a great place to start. One stop shop to pick up eco-friendly products from bulk cleaning supplies and sustainable personal care items to plastic-free toys and gifts. The Monterey Peninsula has needed a store like this for such a long time and it's awesome to finally have a local bulk store for basic household supplies. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are willing to share waste-free living tips to help you make the transition to a sustainable lifestyle. Favorite Find: Bulk plastic free toothpaste tablets!

Jackie is a wonderful role model for anyone who is just starting to transition to low waste or those who are well on their way already. The Green Directive is a perfect place to discover something new that’s good for you and our environment. Every step towards zero waste is a big step and this is a great...

This store is such a gift to the earth. It eliminates the need for so much packaging through the system of refilling! I bring in my shampoo and conditioner bottles whenever I'm low and often buy their laundry pods. There's also toothpaste tablets, sunscreen and all sorts of skincare and cleaning products for refill. There's a section where people bring in their extra containers to donate for others to use, so if you forget a container you can use one of these. Great place to buy gifts for earth friendly friends. Neat little consignment clothing section too. Thank you...
