To minimize environmental impacts, the store has minimal floor and ceiling coverings to cut down on materials required. Additionally, the store has energy-efficient double-paned windows to let in as much natural light as possible. The store also uses energy-efficient fluorescent tubes for base lighting and energy-saving LED fixtures for accent lighting.

Customers can bring back items purchased at the store for recycling. Additionally, if customers have any questions about recycling items not on the list, they can contact their local municipal recycling program for guidance.

The store offers MEC All Out, a community program that provides various ways to help customers get outside. Customers can find MEC events near them, attend low-cost or free clinics and workshops, and participate in events happening in the larger community. The community program also offers grants and grassroots product donations for outdoor ideas.
