Why I Choose Beaches Go Green (and why I hope you will too)

I want to be straight with you.

As the founder of Beaches Go Green… I don’t have to do this. I could be traveling. Walking the beach. Laying by the pool. Eating bonbons. Petting my dogs.

I’ve chosen to spend the last 8 years of my time, energy, and my money on Beaches Go Green.

Why? Because I can’t unsee what I’ve learned—and I’m compelled to share it. I want to leave this place better than I found it – a place for my sons and their families to thrive!

I thought I was educated. And yet I’m still learning things that should be basic knowledge: what’s really in our food, our products, our homes, and our environment—and how everyday exposure to synthetic chemicals quietly affects fertility, hormones, and how well we age. I’m also learning how deeply our health is tied to the health of the world around us, and how much power a small group of committed people actually has to make a difference.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have raised my two boys differently. Not perfectly—just better choices.

That’s why Beaches Go Green exists.

We believe in a know better, do better approach—without fear, guilt, or overwhelm. Life is busy and very few people have time to read the studies, fact check tik-tok or decode ingredient labels just to live cleanly & in a healthy environment.

That’s our job.

We turn complex science into clear, trustworthy cliff notes: what to avoid, what to choose instead, and why it matters—for you and the planet. You don’t need to become an expert—you just need to trust one.

We have a small, dedicated team that researches the facts, translates the science, and delivers the education and events that you value. We could not have the impact that we do without them!

And here’s something else that matters to us: Beaches Go Green is a uniquely independent nonprofit—no national parent, no government funding or agenda, no corporate script. That independence lets us pivot quickly and focus on real impact here in our neighborhood and our lives.

The net of all of this is simple: If you don’t just want to live long—but want to live long well… knowledge can power change for the better. We can create a community where we all thrive: people, animals, plants, the ocean, the soil and businesses too.

If you’re on board with this, please help us grow our impact. Partner with us to educate your part of this world. Volunteer or donate to fuel the education and events that we bring into our community. Get involved. Be part of the greater good. Send me an email – I’d love to connect personally!

More than ever, we are all connected. Healthy planet. Healthy you.
