Meet the team!
Do you know thegreenlist.nl only from Instagram, then you might think one aunt is behind it. No ya! Behind the greener magazine is an enthusiastic team of freelance journalists, content creators and experience experts with a green heart. Especially for you, we explore, share our best sustainable tips, greener shopping lists and coolest spots. What we share is the love for our beautiful planet and for language, but we are also very different. Luckily, because that makes thegreenlist.nl just so versatile and fun. We would like to introduce ourselves!
