Where it all started
Kristen Mandala is a passionate environmentalist focused on the power of reconnecting with nature through simple daily action. Studying International Development at Dalhousie University, and continuing on to work with non-profit organizations in Central and South America, she witnessed first-hand the effect the climate crisis was having on developing communities. After studying Permaculture Design at Rancho Mastatal Sustainability and Education Center in Costa Rica in 2018, she returned to Toronto struggling to find an effective way to engage with her peers regarding the climate crisis without making them feel judged or overwhelmed; this led to her creating The Greener Good.
The Greener Good is a platform and consulting agency that strives to remove barriers between those who may not have previously felt able to participate in sustainable action by forging a connection to the natural world around us. Since its inception, she has studied Sustainable Business Strategies at Harvard Business School and Sustainable Event Assessing at Falmouth University. The Greener Good is built on the idea that there is no one way to be sustainable and that in order for us to succeed we all need to be a part of the movement forward.
