About Seen and Green

Hi! My name is Katy, and I’m excited to tell you about Seen and Green!

But first… About me.

When I was little, my mom talked to me about pollution, conservation of natural resources, and wildlife protection, which inspired me to become a lifelong lover of nature and a passionate protector of it.

My mission to recycle was so strong that one time, when I was 5, I picked up what I thought was a used balloon and asked, “Mama, how can we recycle this?” “Oh, my God! Tell me you didn’t put that in your mouth? Drop it immediately!” She screamed as she scooped me up for a spontaneous teeth brushing and shower! I learned there is such a thing as caring too much! Gotta learn to tone it down sometimes.

Many years later, I sought education at the University of Oregon, one of the best “green” schools in the country, and earned my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies in 2011. I have worked in the recycling/resale industry as an appraiser of home improvement goods, in the garbage/recycling industry as one bad muther-trucker, and in the water and wastewater treatment industry.

I love going outside and trying new things, and I’m amazed by how much exercise positively influences my mental health. No matter how down I may feel, if I can get moving and get my heart rate up, the result is always spiritual relief and mental clarity.

The natural world is a part of you, and you are a part of it. So, when you choose to be eco-friendly, you are choosing to be healthy, too! And, when you are healthy, you are beautiful!

The economy is blooming with more eco-friendly products to choose from than ever before! My mission is to give these companies the spotlight they deserve and to inspire you to keep striving to protect the only planet and the only bodies we’ve got!
