We’re excited to introduce you to @greenllamaclean
We’re excited to introduce you to @greenllamaclean, a Johnson City, TN–based small business redefining how we think about cleaning products. During the pandemic, partners Kay Baker and Dr. Matt Keasey were inspired to reduce their family’s plastic waste and limit their exposure to the harmful chemicals found in conventional household cleaning products. Embarking on an entrepreneurial journey, they’ve created a mission-driven, sustainable company offering a line of nontoxic cleaners from dishwasher pods to laundry detergent. With people and the planet at the heart of their mission, Green Llama creates non-toxic, low-waste cleaning products where a healthy home and environment go hand in hand. To read our Q&A with founder Kay Baker, visit our blog using the link in our bio. #lovelocal #shoplovelocal #sustainablesmallbusiness #johnsoncity #tennessee #madeintn #nontoxiccleaners #nontoxichome #sustainablehome #peoplefriendlycleaners #cleanhome #ecofriendlyhome #ecofriendlycleaning #greencleaningproducts #cleaningproducts #smallbusiness #supportsmall #supportsmallbusinesses #familyowned #lowwaste #localbusiness #supportlocalbusinesses #womenowned #supportsustainablebusinesses #sustainableliving

Love seeing native plant installations as part of this public school. The greenery is soothing to students and people walking by 🌿. Plants used this way also lower surrounding temperatures and provide food, shelter and habitat for insects. #biophilicdesign #plants #greenery #cityplants #greenschools #citydweller

I recently spent an afternoon in Highland Park, a neighborhood just northeast of Los Angeles. My absolute favorite hair stylist @washedoutsalon works out of a funky neighborhood salon there called Bunny’s. After grabbing a matcha and the crispy hippie wrap from @itshighlylikely I took a stroll. These are some of the standouts for me which I highly recommend if you like books, vintage, local food, good coffee, and/or sustainable, locally made low waste goods! @bunnys.la @susstain_la @sunbeam_vintage @northfigbookshop @shopworshipwest @thebeardedbeagle @cookbookmarket @civilcoffee #lovelocal #shopsmall #shoplovelocal #supportsmall #highlandpark #vintage #vintagefurniture #vintagelove #vintageclothes #coffeeshop #localfood #nontoxic #shoplocal #locallymade #locallygrown #supportsmallbusiness❤️ #smallbusiness #losangelescalifornia🇺🇸
