The Greater Green: A Trusted Source for Green Living

TheGreaterGreenLogo.jpg

The Greater Green is an online retailer with a passion for protecting our planet and the health and well-being of all its many inhabitants. Based out of rural, southwest Michigan, The Greater Green offers a wide variety of eco-friendly, Fair Trade, organic, and locally made beauty, cleaning, culinary, baby, pet, and gift products.

By offering extensive product reviews and information on relevant eco-topics, we strive to help consumers simplify the decision-making process in an often confusing and overwhelming green marketplace. With our unique green rating system, The Greater Green Screen, consumers can choose products that fit their specific needs, whether they are just stepping into the green scene and are wondering how best to “go natural,” or are dedicated green consumers seeking out even more planet-friendly choices.

Natural: It's Who We Are

Here at The Greater Green we have a passion for protecting our planet and all that is sacred upon it. Our business has blossomed from the basic belief that compassion and justice do have a place in the business world, and that when we uphold the standards of the "Triple Bottom Line" (social, environmental, and financial outcomes) in every decision we make, we create a better world. We believe that natural, safe, and organic products protect not only our individual health and harmony, but create joy and personal happiness by empowering us to live in harmony with our surroundings.

Natural: It's What We Do

The Greater Green is a family-owned business that blossomed from the basic belief that compassion and justice do have a place in the business world. We know that simply selling eco-friendly products is not enough- every business decision we make is based first and foremost on its environmental and social impacts for our planet. From purchasing 100% green energy shares for our home, farm, and store to partnering with Trees for the Future to plant one tree for every online order placed, to seeking out the greenest, most committed eco-friendly manufacturers, we are constantly trying to increase the positive impact we make.

Our Mission

We have turned our lifelong passion for natural living into a business that, we hope, will help others find healthy living meaningful, fulfilling, and affordable. We are here to create joy, build a healthy planet, and make some friends. We do this by supporting manufacturers who produce products in environmentally and socially sustainable ways, by contributing to charities like Heifer International and Trees for the Future, and by running our own business with as small a footprint as possible. You can read all about it in Our Green Commitment.
