GenGreenLife.com’s Charisse McAuliffe and Green America Today’s Denise Hamler

Charisse McAuliffe, founder and CEO of GenGreenLife.com, returns to “Green is Good” as the show’s first-ever repeat guest.

GenGreenLife.com’s tagline is “Find the green in everything… locally,” and the site has become the go-to spot to find localized green-living solutions. The site features the largest green directory in the United States, making it easier than ever to find green solutions close by.

“[People ask] how can I get my hands on this?” McAuliffe says, referring to green-living solutions. “[GenGreenLife.com] is all about making it easy, and making it something that people can trust.”

McAuliffe points out that choosing green is important, but so is purchasing locally. That’s where GenGreenLife.com really shines. Check out their iPhone app, FindGreen, to spot green businesses near you.

On the second half of the show, Denise Hamler of Green America Today talks to John and Mike about greening America, city by city.

“There are so many ways for us to use the power of our dollar to really make change,” Hamler says. “The whole idea of Green America is to give people those economic strategies and tools by which we can all have a world that we’re proud of and will be here for many generations.”

Green America Today is really about greening our local communities, creating green-minded jobs and making environmental integrity of the utmost importance to everyone.

Green America Today started a green economy challenge calling on all Americans to shift 10% of their current spending to green purchases. Those expenditures could amount to $300 billion toward sustainability and green-minded businesses.
