Our passion:
To encourage Americans to think green when it comes to
holidays & every day celebrations.
There’s no doubt about it. Green is hot. Each day, millions of people religiously recycle, eat organic (or at least choose some organic) and recycle their paper and aluminum cans. They may proudly serve locally grown produce, ride a bike with their kids and turn the heat down, piling on sweaters in winter to save fuel. Yet, when it comes to holidays and celebrations, green often goes out the window to be replaced by, “Our family has always done it this way,” or “Once a year doesn’t hurt.”
But it does.
Why? Everyone celebrates! Look at the endless celebratory possibilities throughout the year (birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Easter, graduations, office parties to name just a few) and multiply them by the global population. See the problem?
Our job is to show Americans that creating green holidays and celebrations and adopting eco-aware traditions can be easy, affordable and fun.
It’s not an all or nothing proposition. We ask people to stop and think about how they can green up their celebrations.
We believe that every step, no matter how small, is a good step. And we’re here to help.
We believe that when enough people begin to take small steps, they will realize that larger ones are possible without denying themselves and their families the joy of celebrating.
We also believe that becoming green aware and eco-sensitive when it comes to celebrations will bring families and communities closer together and will contribute to an increased satisfaction with these events.
It’s about creating habits and traditions we can all feel good about, now and in the future.
Two heads are better than one
As a team, we cover a lot of bases. Corey represents a long time passion for healthy and sustainable living and while she's more at a post grad level of learning, Lynn admits to still being in grade school. This range of experience with ecoliving, allows us to understand and connect with moms no matter where they currently are on the green spectrum.
Because Corey is a therapist and Lynn, a life coach, we have the ability to address the emotional components of change as well as the practical ones, which makes our message multi-layered. We’re also experienced speakers, educators and facilitators.
Our generational differences play in our favor as we can connect with people of all ages and inspire them to begin to change.
We have a great natural chemistry, love to laugh and bring to the whole concept of green (which can often be serious and dry), a humor and simplicity that wins people over and motivates them to give green a try.
Because of our natural ‘fit’ we prefer to work as a team. However there are times when working apart is required and we’re pleased to say that our strengths carry over to our independent efforts as well as to our collaborative ones.
And while we can certainly speak to being green in every day moments, our niche and our passion is life’s celebrations--big, small and in between.
Corporate clients
Just as we love working with people to create change for themselves and their families, we’re excited to collaborate with companies that also seek to make their business and products or services better for people and the planet.
Whether it’s consulting with a company or representing them, we’re eager to help educate consumers about brands they can trust.
Companies that excite us are those that are founded on the premise that you can do well by doing good.
At the same time, we welcome collaborations with companies that are just beginning to take steps into the green or eco-space. Like consumers who are green at being green, everyone needs to start somewhere. A sincere effort towards sustainability and ethical practices is what matters to us. We’ll happily celebrate and promote baby steps whether they're from individuals or companies of any size.
Our mission
Our goal is to educate, entertain and inspire positive change so tht together we can create a real and sustainable difference in the world.
Of course, learning to live green and celebrate green go hand-in-hand and turning green choices into sustainable habits or traditions is the overall goal. So whether it's deocrating for Christmas, what foods to serve at a birthday party or how to bring "thankfulness" into Thanksgiving traditions, we've got a truck load of ideas to share through humor, anecdote and creative how-to's that will appeal to a range of people as well as to the companies whose products and services help make celebrating all the more joyful.
