Joanna Livieratos’s Experience

• CEO/ Owner

  The Greater Green

  (Retail industry)

  August 2007 — Present (2 years 5 months)

  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. 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.
  
  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.
