Chris Boylan
When Chris' friends ask what he does for work, he tells them he's not, not a trash man. Originally from Illinois, Chris moved to Seattle for grad school, where he focused on climate policy. He is very interested in how people interact with waste, and problem solving for upstream solutions to equitably change those interactions into more sustainable ones. Chris rarely sits still, but when he does you can find him gazing out at Elliot Bay or thrifting for new inventory for his vintage resale shop.
Chris is a GBCI True Zero Waste Advisor.

Lauren is thrilled to be a part of a company that embraces these values on a larger scale so everyone can enjoy a world with less waste. Lauren lives in Bellingham, WA with her husband, their dog Denali, and two cat brothers Jax and Marble. She loves to listen to audiobooks, play board games, bake bread, and drink tea.
