For many people, maintaining a home is a rewarding but difficult endeavor, especially when making courageous choices to adopt a more sustainable way of life. Homemakers are now aware of the importance of living sustainably for their families’ health and well-being as well as the environment.
Living sustainably entails making decisions that safeguard the planet’s long-term health and well being while also preserving the standard of living for future generations. Utilizing environmentally friendly items will help you do this while also lowering your carbon footprint by using less energy, water, and other natural resources.
Thankfully, the SM Store’s SM Green Finds program has made it simpler for housewives to make eco-friendly decisions. The program offers a wide selection of environmentally friendly and consumer-friendly sustainable goods.
As part of SM Green Finds, ACE Express offers a wide array of biodegradable cleaning solutions and products for environmentally conscious homemakers. One of the standout products that carry the Green Finds badge are these organic cleaners formulated with eco-friendly surfactants which make them safe for families and the environment.
“A sustainable household uses less energy, conserves earth’s resources and uses products that are less harmful to the environment. Ace Express is committed to making sustainable products more available in as many categories as possible,” said Bernard Ong, SVP and ACE Hardware Business Head.
For those who love gardening, ACE Express has Ramgo, Vertigo, and Konice, which are natural-growing media that use by-products found in local farms and mountainsides of the Philippines. These eco-friendly alternatives to conventional growing media are perfect for those who want to start planting sustainably.

Making the switch to a green lifestyle involves more than just purchasing eco-friendly goods; it also involves making decisions that are sustainable for the world and future generations. Parents may show their children the value of being environmentally conscious and the various ways they can live a greener lifestyle by choosing sustainable items.
