We’ve scoured Portland to find the latest shops that’ve gone green! Everything you need­—or desire—can be found with sustainability in mind. The eco-conscious have hung out their shingles all over town in converted warehouses, turn-of-the-century homes, and even old Maytag repair shops. From the reclaimed to the local, from the handmade to the sustainable, here are some of our new favorite places!

Where to head now that the rain has let up and the sun is tempting you to indulge in an afternoon of

Here are some of our favorite shops to explore after you tire of the national chains' outposts and the hipster boutiques.
