Who is Grow Ensemble?
We “market” sustainable solutions to the social and environmental causes we all care about. Our client? The cause. Our service? Spread the word on solutions that exist to the world’s biggest problems so more and more people can engage with them.
We are curious generalists and sustainability enthusiasts. We reject the idea that we have to make daily compromises on our values through our daily habits and the companies we engage with.
Our community is made up of people of all sorts who share the goal of living in a way that makes the world a more equitable and connected place and that ensures generations to come get to enjoy healthy lives.
After some time feeling helpless and alone in the daily fight for human/planet sustainability, we learned some life-changing information: not only are we not alone, but there are a lot of people who care about the same things we do, and they are taking action to make change RIGHT NOW!
We learn about these change-makers and the causes they represent every day. Our favorite thing to do? Share everything we learn with other people who will be just as excited as we are about these discoveries…so we created Grow Ensemble to do just that.
