Support for People and the Planet

As you stroll through your local grocery store aisles you may recognize popular natural food brands such as Bob’s Red Mill and Primal Kitchen. This is partially due to natural and organic food broker GreenSpoon. GreenSpoon works with grocery stores and brands to promote products that positively impact people, community and the environment.
As a member of 1% for the Planet, GreenSpoon commits to donating at least 1% of annual sales to environmental organizations. It also encourages its employees to take a break from work and get involved in their local communities.
GreenSpoon’s Promotion Support Manager Brett Bowman found the Conservancy on 1% for the Planet’s directory of non-profit organizations to support. After rallying his team, Bowman met with the Conservancy’s Preserve Manager, Steven Eddington, at Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve to remove invasive species and stage plants for an upcoming event.
Having visited Waikiki Springs before, Bowman already had a special connection to the land. “When I was younger, I just took it for granted. Especially living in Spokane my whole life, we just had all of these outdoor spaces to go. Then as you watch a city grow, like Spokane has, you see places disappear,” says Bowman. “As time goes on you really have an understanding of how important it is to protect that land.
Bowman is grateful to work for an organization that prioritizes giving back to the community and protecting the environment. He hopes to spread his love for the outdoors in his personal life as well as through his work at GreenSpoon.
We’re grateful for all our local 1% for the Planet businesses who choose to support the Conservancy. Our work is powered by your partnership.
The Conservancy’s partnership with Measure Meant, a social impact consulting group that guides businesses toward a more sustainable future, landed us in the 1% for the Planet non-profit directory last year, enabling companies like GreenSpoon to find us.
