You mentioned you guys plan to sell anything and everything, how do you plan to source all these products?

I ask because right now I can think of only two ways.

1) Dropshipping
2) Affiliates

Dropshipping is a very good alternative to keeping the inventory (which will also be more expense) but the bad points is that you are reling on the company to get that product out and to your customer on time.

Affiliates would be another good channel to look at. The only problem with that is you earn a % of the item rather than setting your own price and to be fair, you will probably have a load of affiliate accounts because, as it stands, I don't know of one affiliate network that deals solely with green/eco/organic products.

So you could end up with 100+ affiliate accounts.

If it was me, I would probably used a mixture of them both to start with with a long term view of buying your own inventory.

Or you could simply go to Google/Yahoo/Live and type in..

Solar products suppliers
Recycling products suppliers
Energy efficient products suppliers

Which should give you everything you need and want.
