From Plastic Bags to Sustainable Packaging: Lessons Learned From Business Owner and Author Trent Romer
On today's episode of Beyond the Green Line, Shonelle Gleeson-Willey talks with Trent Romer, author of the books 'This is Our Home: A Sustainability Story to Help You Start Your Own Eco-Friendly Journey' and 'Finding Sustainability: The Personal and Professional Journey of a Plastic Bag Manufacturer'.
Trent is a 3rd generation co-owner of his family's business Clear View Bag Co., Inc founded in 1961 by his grandfather.
In this episode he talks about what inspired him to turn to more sustainable options. Trent knew the changes he made needed to be good for the business and good for the planet.
He shares the changes his company made, such as reducing waste, hosting educational events for employees, and implementing the company vision of 'Healthy Planet. Healthy People. Healthy Company'.
Trent offers a number of ways consumers can make a real impact, and reminds businesses to keep in mind the cost of inaction.
Trent's latest book 'This Is Our Home: A Sustainability Story to Help You Start Your Own Eco-Friendly Journey' is written for people who want to move in a sustainable direction, but feel overwhelmed, wondering 'How do I begin my journey and what do I do after I start?'.
Progress is better than perfection, and Trent hopes to inspire those he reaches that we can each make choices, no matter how small, that move us in the right direction.
