The GreenGlamGo app serves not only as a mobile shopping app, but also an educational tool that helps consumers shop with intention, vote with their dollars, cut through the clutter, and organize resources. The new app is designed to bring together the best in green and sustainable fashion design and lifestyle. GreenGlamGo opens the playing field by offering consumers the hippest, under the radar, green, and sustainable designers/brands that may be too undercapitalized to elbow their way into the global retail space, but are no less relevant.
