Green and Greener in Valley Village is Going Black

, the store in Valley Village that specializes in a variety of eco-friendly products, will be closing for good on July 28.

Co-owner Alegre Ramos confirmed in an email to North Hollywood-Toluca Lake Patch that she will be closing up for good at the end of this month.

Located at 4838 Laurel Canyon Blvd., the store sells all kinds of environmentally friendly items, including apparel, cleansers, makeup, lotions, stationary, toys, baby products and pet items. The store also marketed interior and landscape design and green business consulting.

Our old About Town writer Tiffany Kelly visited the store in 2010 and :

Like environmental laws in California, it's hard to be green without paying for it. A facial scrub made from vegetables is $18, and a vegan diaper messenger bag is $150. T-shirts are made from hemp and pet toys are organic. There are all-purpose cleaners, dishwashing detergents and garbage bags, all good. A recycled substitute awaits any household product you once used before you cared about the environment. Purchasing all of your toiletries and accessories at Green and Greener is the equivalent to receiving a report card with all A's and patting yourself on the back for good measure.

Ramos says there will be great deals all month for their going-out-of-business sale.
