My name is Natasha, I am 34 years old and I live in a small village just outside of the Lake District. Now that the basics are covered we can delve a little into how I started Greener Lives.

​

A few years ago I started to become really aware of the disposable attitude large companies had towards consumer goods. Everything I bought seemed to have dramatically dropped in quality and be cheaply made, as though it was halfway ready for the bin.

​

And so my search for alternatives began. I had just returned home after travelling and working for an extended period. The experience really opened my eyes to the natural world and how damaging this disposable aspect was.

​

I owned very little (whatever was in my backpack) so I took the opportunity to start fresh. I spent the next few years testing out plastic free, organic, handmade eco alternatives to major brands and building a base of amazing products that actually worked. I was pleasantly surprised by all the innovative companies I came across, and they quite honestly changed the way I live my life.

​

Ideas started to form and after a few Sunday afternoons of Coffee and Brownie filled chats with my mum, Greener Lives was born. Ever since then I have been on a mission to promote high quality, sustainably made and eco friendly products.
