Organic teas, and remedies, and a small business you can feel good about!

Sustainability is a core, guiding principal at Green Girl Herbs & Healing so everything is done in a way that has minimal impact on our great Earth from how herbs are harvested right down to the packaging of all Green Girl Teas and remedies. Here are just a few of the ways Green Girl is working to walk softer on Planet Earth:

• All packaging is made with reusable materials whenever possible. Although plastic is significantly cheaper, salve jars, tincture bottles, and Elderberry Syrup bottles are sourced from glass which is reusable, recyclable, friendlier to our Earth, and safer for you!
• Paper tea bags are made from 40% post-consumer recycled content.
• All herbs used in teas and remedies are certified organic or ethically wild-crafted. Herbs are fair-trade where available and applicable.
• All herbs are sourced from companies with strong ties to the herbal community and a strong sustainability policy and history.
• Wherever possible, promotional materials are made from a minimum of 40% to 100% post-consumer recycled content.
• All class materials are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled content paper.
• Office supplies are sourced from renewable resources and 100 post-consumer recycled content paper.
• Office equipment, including laptops, are Energy Star rated.
• Green Girl runs on GREEN POWER utilizing 100% solar and wind power through Green Mountain Energy.
• Green Girl Herbs believes in giving back, a corporate member of United Plant Savers, Green Girl Herbs regularly donates to efforts to conserve the wild land the plants call home.
• Educating others of the plight of our native medicinals is a priority. All students in the Sacred Heart of Herbalism Level 1 class receives a one-year membership to United Plant Savers.
• Educating people on how to live greener is a constant at Green Girl Herbs & Healing. Every Friday is #earthdayfriday on the Green Girl Facebook page with green living tips, news, and updates, and all packages sent include a checklist of “Simple Things You Can Do to Care for Our Beautiful Planet Earth”.

Green Girl Herbs & Healing is committed to taking care of our Earth and is continually looking for thoughtful ways to minimize its impact. If you have any additional suggestions, we’re all ears! Please reach out to us via the contact form on the Contact tab. We’d love to hear from you!
