The consumer cycle can be a messy thing, but it’s not humans who feel the consequences most keenly. The world’s oceans are suffering at an alarming rate from plastic waste, something Brianne Miller, marine biologist turned ecopreneur, can attest to.
Brianne is the Co-Founder and CEO of Nada Grocery – a certified B-Corporation and package-free grocery store inspiring people changing the way they shop for groceries. Brianne is committed to revolutionizing the food system from the ground up so that future generations can continue to enjoy and benefit from the world’s oceans.
“I certainly never thought I’d open a grocery store one day, but marine biology took me to so many places where I could see the effect of pollution close up. We had a lot of frustration in our personal lives because a lot of the waste we were creating came from food, so that’s where we wanted to start tackling it.”
On this week’s THRIVE Podcast, Komal Minhas and Brianne talk about the value of building businesses to do more than bring in profits.
