All Green Things All
Green Things is a entrepreneurial company that supplies a range of
products that have a low impact on our planet. Environmental
responsibility is our #1 priority. Our goal with this company is to
provide an avenue to inspire people to think differently about how we
consume. This is a place where baby steps can be made in an effort to
grow and evolve with time. One small bit it of awareness will turn into
many bits of awareness that will change how we view all of our
purchasing habits. One small step such as a reusable bag incorporated
into your shopping experience does impact this planet for the positive.
This will empower you to want to do more, I promise.
There are so many exciting and innovative products emerging onto
the market. All Green Things aspires to encourage a more thoughtful
purchasing process that focuses on local economies, fair practices,
reusable or sustainable materials, and less consumption tied to
ever-changing trends. There is no reason why we all, over time, should
not change our purchasing habits to something that is green and better
for our health and the health of this incredible planet we live on.
Life is hectic but we all deserve to slow down for just a moment and
think. Think about our health and happiness, think about the food we
ingest, think about the clothes we put on our body, think about what
happens to the consumption when we are finished with it, and think
about the footprint we all leave behind. It is our duty to think of
these things. All of our baby steps combined can make a huge impact
when we all make them together.
As a company, All Green
Things strives to be a good citizen within our industry, community, and
the environment. That's why when you shop with us; we give back a
portion of all net profits towards causes in support of the arts,
community, and environment. We are a proud member of One Percent For
the Planet, a select group of retailers who are committed to giving
back at least 1% of net profits towards environmental causes.

Our Story
|
It was June of 2006 that I found myself in a darkened theater watching “An Inconvenient Truth".
I had no idea how this documentary would impact my life in the way I
looked at the world and actions I would set out and take. I realized
that the way I was living my life was impacting the environment in a
negative way. I also realized that it was time for me to enact change
not only in my own life, but maybe, in the lives of others.
I
wanted to figure out how to minimize my use and waste of resources. It
is undoubtedly a challenge at first, but I was realistic in trying to
affect an initial change through an evolution instead of a shock.
Consistent and deliberate action, however small, ultimately adds up to
immense differences that reduce the negative effects on our
environment. I suddenly felt empowered and wanted to empower others to
challenge themselves to do more. I genuinely believe that people not
only CAN make a difference, but when inspired properly by the stakes of
this global issue, will WANT to make a difference.
Finally,
we must ALL make a sincere effort to try and slow and eventually
reverse the human impact of climate change. I am attempting to supply
information in a positive manner that will compel you to challenge
yourself to live a green lifestyle. Not only for yourself, but for your
planet. Thank you for visiting
All Green Things. Welcome to the journey!
