Garrett Chappell - Founder
Garrett (he/they) learned the importance of environmental care growing up in the sacred land of the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was among those precious trees and streams that he learned the simultaneous fragility and resiliency of nature and our mutual need for its protection and survival.
After a marketing and graphic design career, Garrett pivoted to a self-taught path as a sustainability coordinator in 2019. Since then, he has gone on to develop his own path in multiple companies, often starting with little to no support for sustainability within the organization. His work has saved companies tens of thousands of dollars, strengthened public images and brands, and established a core need for why environmental impact must be considered from a business perspective.
His work has been recognized with multiple awards and high-level certifications with The Colorado Green Business Network, and he has been listed as an honoree on multiple 40 under 40 lists within Colorado. Garrett has also been an invited speaker at events held by the University of Colorado Boulder, B-Civic, and the United Nations Federal Credit Union.
