About

Green America's mission is to harness economic power--the strength of consumers, investors, businesses and the marketplace--to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

We help people make green living, purchasing and investing choices. We believe that each of us can do our part for people and the planet by making good choices with how we use our money. We call it growing the green economy, where green stands for people and the planet--community and environmental health, social and economic justice, a good life for all.

Please join with us to use the power of your pocketbook for the good by making purchases from World of Good. Then learn more about green living, purchasing and investing choices by checking out our website.

We work for a world where all people have enough, where all communities are healthy and safe and where the bounty of the Earth is preserved for all the generations to come.

What Makes Green America Unique:

~We focus on economic strategies—economic action to solve social and environmental problems.

~We mobilize people in their economic roles—as consumers, investors, workers, business leaders.

~We empower people to take personal and collective action.

~We work on issues of social justice and environmental responsibility. We see these issues as completely linked in the quest for a sustainable world. It’s what we mean when we say “green.”
