Green Sprouts has been women-owned since 1982, with a mission to provide safe, intentionally-designed goods that support families' health and inspire curiosity.
Green Sprouts’ guiding principles are our compass for making decisions on how to operate as individuals and as a company, and they are foundational to our organizational culture.
• Be Open and Curious – We encourage lifelong learning, while researching innovative ideas and solutions with a spirit of discovery.
• Act with Intention and Presence – We strive to exercise judgment and act mindfully, consciously, and with awareness so that our actions reflect our purpose and values; and by using imagination, proactive planning, and organization in manifesting our vision.
• Be Honest and Fair – We look for truthfulness and balance by being transparent in our daily business practices with our stakeholders.
• Foster Health and Happiness – We support radiant health for families through our philosophy and products with material choices, testing, standards, and protocols.
• Nourish Compassionate Relationships – We aim to be considerate, respectful, and collaborative in our relationships with our customers, our staff, and our business partners.
• Connect with the Natural World – We appreciate nature’s intelligence, beauty, nourishment, and support for life. We use nature’s resources and principles in our products and encourage families to get outdoors to enjoy and discover the natural world.
• Create Prosperity for All – By integrating these principles in a holistic way, we endeavor to bring positive influence and maximize the potential for each person, family, our community, and the world at large—creating a legacy.
Earth Rangers is the world's largest children's conservation organization, dedicated to educating children and their families about biodiversity, inspiring them to adopt sustainable behaviours, and empowering them to become directly involved in protecting animals and their habitats.
Earth Rangers visits hundreds of elementary schools across North America each year, delivering fun, dynamic, and interactive school-wide assemblies and hands-on classroom experiments focused on biodiversity and environmental science.
By becoming an Earth Ranger, children, with support from their families, make a commitment to engage in actions that directly contribute to the protection of wildlife. We currently have over 300,000 members across Canada and the United States.
Earth Rangers has a staff of about 40 and an operating budget of about $6.5 million. Our offices are located on Pine Valley Drive in Woodbridge, adjacent to the Kortright Centre for Conservation Area. Designed to embody our values, the Earth Rangers Centre for Sustainable Technology is an advanced green building, a showcase of cutting edge sustainable building technology.
