About Us
MISSION STATEMENT
 The mission of GREENCulture is simple and straightforward: to promote
environmental enlightenment and conservation through the sales and distribution
of ecologically conscious products. To most environmentalists, the benefits of
sustainability are obvious and well documented; but to the rest of society, its
uses are unclear at best. The primary goal of SolarGoods.com is to introduce
the mainstream marketplace to a wide array of high quality goods made from
recycled materials, ecologically harvested timber, and other earth friendly
ingredients.
ENLIGHTENED PLANET STATEMENT
GREENCulture's Goal is to promote products that are designed or manufactured with the planet in mind. Our products are eco-friendly because the items are made from recycled materials or come from renewable or sustainable resources. We also feature Enlightened Products which may not be manufactured with 100% eco-friendly ingredients, but we do carry them because they are products which are much better for the planet than the products which currently exist in the marketplace.
At GREENCulture, we strive for a 100% planet friendly product mix. Manufacturers, however, many times make wonderful products which do not meet our strict criteria. Manufacturers always LISTEN when we ask them to modify their products to be more in line with our environmental and enlightened products mission. However, manufacturers CHANGE their manufacturer processes and materials only when we show to them that we can send them a large volume of business. They know that we are a small and growing company committed to making great changes but the volume of business we drive to them does not justify modifying their manufacturing processes to achieve our strict goals. We know that with the help and support of our customers, we will grow and as we grow, we will work with our manufacturers to modify their manufacturing processes to get closer to meeting our strict criteria.
Our goal is to vigorously reduce consumption of non earth-friendly items and simultaneously offer consumers an alternative choice of products that are better for the planet. Everything we purchase and use involves some type of tradeoff. We put the task of vigorously promoting products that are better off for the planet above absolute purity. Boycotting and not promoting products that are much better than existing products, sends the message to manufacturers that there is no market at all for their products, which ends up hurting our overall movement.
Our goal is to also blend in fashion, style and great prices with our product offerings. We will never further our goals of making these products widely used in the mainstream by offering products which are not aesthetically appealing or well priced. We appreciate your understanding of our position and with your support, our company will grow large and together we will create changes in manufacturing processes and make more planet-friendly products that are made and prove to the world that these types of products are in demand and wanted by consumers on the planet!
