We’re hard at work creating a holistic approach to help everyone make every day Earth Day. The four critical
components of this approach are — Learn, Be Aware, Act, and Share.
We believe that the journey towards sustainable living starts with learning. The more you "learn" about
fundamentals, the more you become "aware" of the sustainable living philosophy. We want to provide you with
the necessary information so that you can "act." Finally, we hope that you would "share"
your experience with your friends and colleagues.
Thus, the cycle will continue and more people can learn, be aware, act, and spread the word.

Getting your daily supplies from nearby farmer’s markets, organic farms, or bulk stores that sell goods with less packaging is a great way of adopting a sustainable lifestyle. But where do you find them?
To address this issue, we introduced the Green Directory where you can find all nearby “green” facilities. Plus, any US citizen can find nearby recycling facilities with our Green Directory.

Circular Economy Initiative
Lastly, GreenCitizen has launched the Circular Economy Initiative. This initiative wants to help companies that have developed state-of-the-art circular economy technologies and products in their effort to market, sell, and support their products in the US Market.
In a high-cost area like in the US, the only way a product can be made here is to minimize the labor involved and team up staff with Robotics and AI. With both global supply chain and geopolitical disruptions, as well as the original climate concern from shipping products long distances, local product manufacturing is needed. With the combination of robotics, AI, and skilled workers, the cost of the total manufacturing might be reduced in a developed country like the US.
