A transplant from the East Coast, Jessica moved to Los Angeles several years ago to help spread the green message. Soon after she arrived, she noticed that finding eco events was challenging… not for the lack of them, but for how scattered their communication efforts were. The more people she talked with, the more she kept hearing the same thing over and over again: “I never know what’s going on ‘green’ here! I want to get involved, but I don’t know how.” Not being satisfied with this, Jessica decided to launch GoToGreenLA.com (the predecessor to GoToGreen). It was quickly met with gratitude and thanks from the Los Angeles green community, which encouraged her to expand the service nationally. GoToGreen.com was born.

Jessica currently runs the LA Green Drinks-Valley Chapter, lends her graphic design services to green initiatives and businesses, and is committed to helping people help each other. “What we do to the planet, we do to ourselves.”
