Visit your local Aveda salon and support the GRN!  Two Aveda distributors, the Neill Corporation and The Salon People, have once again chosen to partner with us for Earth Month. Throughout April, Aveda salons across the southeast will be raising funds and awareness for our Healthy Waters Campaign.

When announcing the joint partnership, Dominique Conseil, President of Aveda, issued this invitation, “Please join me and the entire Aveda family as we challenge ourselves to improve on last year’s terrific performance and collect even more resources to support clean, safe, and abundant water in our communities and around the world.” 

Their contributions will support our work to end water pollution problems through a multi-faceted approach that includes public education, empowerment of citizen groups, technical review of government policies, and legal action when necessary. 

GRN extends a heartfelt thanks to all of the hardworking Aveda salon staff and their clients for everything they do to make Earth Month a success. Aveda stands out as a shining example of an authentic ‘green’ company that makes protecting our environment central to the way they do business.
