A Love for Nature and Culture
Kay’s story begins in South Louisiana, where the rich tapestry of home food and local culture instilled in her a deep love for nature. However, it was the rugged allure of the mountains in East Tennessee that broadened her perspective. Kay’s passion for the outdoors is best enjoyed with her two dogs and Matt (her husband), highlighting a life where family and nature are intertwined. As a fully qualified occupational therapist specializing in children’s care, she has always balanced her professional commitment with an even greater passion for protecting the environment.
Turning Passion into Purpose
In early 2020, faced with the growing problem of single-use plastic cluttering our homes, Kay and Matt—who is a practicing neuroscientist, decided to take action. Frustrated by the environmental impact of the cleaning industry’s reliance on disposable plastic, they converted their garage into a makeshift laboratory during COVID. Here, they rigorously tested formulations by cross-referencing ingredients on the EPA’s Safer Choice list and the EWG’s database. The goal was simple: create safe and effective surface cleaning ingredients that eliminate harmful plastics. Out of this determination, Green Llama was born, a brand dedicated to turning everyday challenges into sustainable solutions.
A Vision for Sustainable Change
Kay firmly believes that when each person makes a small, sustainable change, the collective impact can be enormous. With Green Llama, she has transformed a personal passion into a mission that empowers consumers to choose products that not only clean effectively but also protect our planet. By targeting problems like single-use plastic waste and harmful chemicals, Green Llama Clean becomes the partner for households striving for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable lifestyle.
