Intro

We are Joy and Elise – the faces behind Somewhat Greener. At the beginning of 2020, we started our journey towards a more responsible lifestyle. To find our way, we began educating ourselves on sustainability and ethics. We started to consume more consciously but soon realised that when you see the wellbeing of others being unnecessarily compromised, adopting a more sustainable lifestyle isn’t enough. Positive change will happen a lot faster if people dare to speak up. So why wouldn’t we? 

On our about page we’ll tell you more about ourselves and our aim with Somewhat Greener, check it out!
