CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GreenStreamline is a new Cambridge-based one-stop shopping destination for green-minded consumers. GreenStreamline.com features environmentally conscious products – gifts, home furnishings and clothing made with style conscious consumers in mind. The online store allows customer to research, shop and review a variety of innovative, socially responsible, green and gorgeous products.
GreenStreamline was co-founded by Cambridge natives Sarah Kuhn and Katie Shetterly. Kuhn and Shetterly first met in high school at Cambridge Rindge Latin and continued their friendship through college. In the years after school, they wound up working at the same solar energy company where they shared a passion for eco-friendly products but couldn't find a place to buy these products. Together they decided to create a community where you could do just that.
"GreenStreamline helps consumers put their money where their values lie," said Sarah Kuhn, GreenStreamline co-founder. "We created GreenStreamline because we couldn't find eco-friendly online shopping destinations offering the stylish green products we wanted to buy."
Co-founder Katie Shetterly agreed, "GreenStreamline is a product of our own frustration." Shetterly continued, "We also knew how hard it was for socially-responsible manufacturers to connect in a meaningful way with conscious consumers."
GreenStreamline sells products in the following categories:
- Accessories, jewelry, shoes and eco-fashion
- Bath and beauty
- Food and drink
- Gadgets
- Home, furniture and garden
- Health and fitness
- Kids
- Pets
- Special collections
More than just a store, GreenStreamline promises that products come from sellers whose values align with those of the green and conscious consumer. To the GreenStreamline team, being "green" means "thinking not just of our own needs and desires, but about having a positive effect on our communities and on our planet."
GreenStreamline carries thousands of fashionable products including recycled coin jewelry, cork handbags, bamboo sunglasses, organic soap, wine barrel ring lights, and much more. The products featured are all chosen with both style and green status in mind. Each product is socially conscious, fair trade, upcycled, environmentally-friendly or organic. All of the manufacturers and their products are fully vetted by the team to ensure that every item on the website will appeal to conscious consumers.
