"Hi Jack! I just wanted you to know that the reason I chose your shop over all of the others I looked at for soap, was because of your ethical practices. I'm sure I'll be shopping with you in the future! I was thrilled to find you here on Etsy! And thank you, for what you're doing for people and our planet!!

*Thank you, Peggy. The 5 Point low impact production has always been a dream of mine. With improvements to the Solar Powered Studio, and continued support from my bio-sphere friends, I hope to set new standards for Corporate Responsibility and make every day matter as we work together to repair the damage that we've done.
At Chicago's own Ethically Engineered our goal is to produce products with a complete ecological rotation perspective. From the construction of our products, to the ingredients, to the packaging that is discarded after it's use, this company works to ensure a viable and sustainable product with little to no impact on the bio-sphere. Pure products for a pure planet.

Forage for local food
This little overlooked flower is often thought of as a pest or weed. It's not, you've just been missing out. Foraging for local food is a great way to get back in touch with what is edible. Dandelion greens (thick leaves) are delicious too in a salad or steamed. Make sure that you're foraging out of the range of weed killers and pesticides.
Fried dandelion blossoms
36-48 large dandelion blossoms
1 cup flour
1 cup ice water
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tblsp egg replacer
Remove as much of the dandelion stem and greenery as possible without damaging the blossom itself. Heat oil (I prefer coconut oil) in a skillet on medium high. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add ice water and stir. Blend in egg replacer. Use tongs to submerge dandelion blossoms in batter and drop in hot oil. Fry in shifts.
