My husband and I have operated in wholesale wireless fulfillment for close to 10 years.

Around the time I joined Startup Nation, I started working on a BIG idea. What if we could really change the world? A little bit at a time? Corny? Maybe. But absolutely serious. So now set to the task of making this vision a reality.

It has been quite an adventure growing GreenBeans so far, and I feel like the journey has just begun! But with each step I am learning and growing from talented mentors, entrepreneurs, artists, thinkers, activists, technicians and innovators. I couldn't ask for a better education!

The goal is to ignite
recycling and eco-friendly initiatives, empower small business and support fundraising efforts by charities and organizations.

There is a great movement through awareness of the damage we are doing to our planet, a movement toward energy efficiency, recycling and conservation. The average consumer does not have the time nor inclination to research each purchase to see if it is “green”, to analyze their homes, spending habits, everyday decisions to see if they are “green” and although most people are sincerely concerned about the issues facing our planet today, they are often overwhelmed by the enormity of it all, and left in a virtual paralysis of “well really, what can I do about it…” We can simplify these habits, making Green products easily identifiable, and exciting to purchase and rewarding to return to.

We can create a new retail environment in which it is exciting and fun to contribute toward sustainability, community enrichment and small business development!

Our first product line of restored & recharged cell phone batteries can be found at www.greenbeansrewards.com and are hitting counters at retail stores across the East Coast this summer.
