Retailer sells only 'green' products.

Looking for a trash bag that biodegrades in two months or less? How about a hand-crank flashlight that makes batteries obsolete? These and other environmentally-friendly items are on sales at Ellie's Eco Home Store in Boulder, CO.

And, of course, there are plenty of homemade household cleaners. Employees say a big job is educating customers they don't have to spend a lot to be environmentally friendly, according to an article on the CBS4 website.

"The cleaners we manufacture ourselves are less expensive, if not exactly equal to conventional cleaners and they work just as well," store manager Carly Marriott said.
