Catherine set up Greener by Nature to combine her passion for all things vintage, textile and handcrafted, with a genuine desire to try and reduce her family’s environmental footprint and seek out a more sustainable lifestyle. Their aim is ‘to make it easier for people to make alternative and conscientious choices, whilst still fulfilling their desire for something uniquely stylish and ultimately special.’ They sell a broad range of products from baby clothes to gardening tools, ethical jewellery to notebooks, journals and wrapping paper. Customers can pay online using a credit or debit card or through PayPal. ‘We are a small family run business and appreciate that whilst we are unlikely to change the world, the more people that join us in our efforts to live a more sustainable life through the everyday choices that we make, the better our chances of preserving a future for our beautiful planet and all its inhabitants.‘ Eco is the new black.
