About:

​

GoGreenLocally org is a Nevada-based nonprofit providing online U.S. resource hubs designed to help concerned citizens take action at the grassroots level to work with their communities to increase sustainability, clean and restore the environment, protect our natural resources and biodiversity, and work to reverse climate change. The GoGreenLocally directories support eco-conscious choices in cities and towns across the United States. At each local GoGreenLocally hub, visitors can search for resources in one of six directories covering local events, businesses, groups/nonprofits, and online resources. It also offers eco-action ideas and tools for starting new initiatives for individuals, groups, or businesses.  They also offer content to combat apathy and inaction by empowering people to work to take more effective collective actions which add to overall impact. Their ultimate mission is to be a resource to support local community-shared action that helps people and the planet.

​

Mission:

​

Our mission is to connect individuals with their local communities and empower both individuals and organizers with the information, resources, and support needed to amplify their impact and success.

 

Vision

 

Our vision is a world where ordinary citizens collaborate to build sustainable local communities. Each town is celebrated for its unique solutions and contributions, meeting the needs of its people while nurturing biodiversity and restoring the environment and climate.

 

Strategies:

​​

• Most people are too busy to search for and find all of the upcoming green events happening in their city. We do the work for them by searching for all types of green events, adding them to our local online hub directories, and sending that list to subscribers—making it easy to stay involved and make a difference.

• ​Providing eco-friendly local directories for green: groups, projects, nonprofits, online resources, and small businesses. 

• Encourage local community groups and nonprofits to implement all types of sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for the community through fun and interesting activity/event ideas.

• Providing activity guides and resources for local events that build on sustainability, connections with nature, and action on cleaning and restoring our environment under the guidance of holistic thinking, ecology-friendly, biology-based, restoration experts.

• Assembling trusted educational resources affiliate links to free or low-cost books, classes, and videos.

• Providing community and volunteer-generated introductory videos for the “Local Eco-Action Spotlight: Video Map Project” which aggregates local sustainability initiatives, nature preserves, sharing resources, and environmental organizations so that people can find all types of local resources for action - whether it’s food shopping or volunteer work. 

• Sharing individual local paths of green action stories and wisdom from across the US in podcast episodes

• Sharing content that inspires both individual and collective actions to protect the health of our communities and the planet.

 

ABOUT US / BRAND STORY

​​

As stewards and caretakers of our world, we face a choice: take bold, meaningful action now, or succumb to gloom. The U.S. celebrates individuals who are independent, intelligent, resilient, and successful. At GoGreenLocally, we believe that when it comes to achieving sustainability, environmental, and climate goals, we gain more by working together. Sharing resources and solutions can also help us get there even faster.

​

Our organization was founded by Jenny Nichols, a deeply concerned citizen passionate about protecting our planet. As a young mom, she studied pollution and GMOs impacting food and the environment, seeing firsthand how this toxic legacy affected her family and countless others. Jenny began dedicating herself to living more sustainably by choosing organic foods, growing a garden, and learning about ecological design through permaculture and upcycling. After raising her family and moving to Nevada, Jenny—a green business owner and local permaculture group organizer—saw that many people wanted to help the planet but often didn’t know about the resources and groups in their cities. At the same time, individuals launching eco-initiatives struggled to reach people and show them how these actions make a difference. To bridge this gap, Jenny and her husband Alan launched the GoGreenLocally portal—a space for U.S. communities to connect, inspire action, and contribute to a shared planet. This vision led to the creation of the "Locals Share Green Action” podcast and the "Eco-Action Spotlight: Video Map Project" to highlight inspiring initiatives across the country. 

 

The GoGreenLocally website contains shared information resources for all communities to learn about cutting-edge ecologically sound biology-based science, and tools for new eco-action initiatives and 61 localized online hubs.  At the online hubs, visitors can find things like regenerative and sustainable farmers, upcycling artists, lending libraries, conservation projects, eco-friendly landscapers, local compost services, zero-waste shops, and more in local directories for events, businesses, nonprofits, and online resources. Local communities are welcome to share additional green resources for these directories.

 

GoGreenLocally is more than a database. It’s a hub connecting, engaging, and supporting a vibrant community of people dedicated to combating hopelessness, apathy, and inaction by empowering and inspiring each other to take small, collective steps toward big change.
