I have been told by my local paint shop that their paint is 'non-toxic', and 'low-odour'. Is it eco-friendly?

Almost all paint is toxic if ingested! Beware of manufacturers who 'green-wash' their products. Just because a paint is 'low-VOC', 'low-odour' or water-based doesn't mean it is eco-friendly, or even the lowest VOC paint available. Low-odour paints may contain additives that mask the smell of the chemicals they contain. Check to see what the VOC level is after the tint is added. Does it contain biocides? Has the manufacturing process been independantly evaluated by an eco-label? What are the ingredients?
