GREEN GIRL FEATURED ON EBAY THEINSIDESOURCE.COM
As the founder of Green Girl, a Los Angeles-based company that specializes in eco-friendly tote bags in bold, upbeat colors and prints, Lori Rose lives by her company’s sunny, enviro-conscious ethos. “Our eco-totes are a fashionable, reusable bag that makes our customers look good, feel good and do good,” she says, ”I started Green Girl because that’s the world I want to live in.” Recently, we sat down with the enterprising entrepreneur to hear a bit more about her line, as well as the other goods that measure up to her exacting aesthetic and earth-friendly standards.
On the subject of how others can adopt a more eco lifestyle, Rose says, “One of the easiest things that the average person can do is to be more ‘aware’ of their daily actions.” It’s a philosophy she applies to running her business, including carefully monitoring every aspect of the design process to eke out as many green benefits as possible. She uses not just organic cotton and biodegradable jute, but also incorporates chemical-free dyes and keeps production local to reduce her carbon footprint. She also lives in a sustainable home. “No I’m not living off the grid!” she laughs, “but Green Girl is teaching me that a whole bunch of small changes can add up to a big impact.”
