Tampa's Going Green Guru


Living a green lifestyle is important to Lisa Custer, founder of Going Green. She has always strongly believed in recycling, reusing and avoiding consumerism. This is one of the reasons she started the website, GoingGreenTampa.com and is a partner in The Recycled Jeans Shop.

Lisa wanted to help get the word out about eco-friendly companies and events in the Tampa area in order to attract the mainstream consumer. She has since been chosen as a 2012 recipient for the Earth Charter Awards and sponsored numerous eco-friendly events in the greater Tampa area.

Along with that, Lisa believes that we should be nourishing our bodies with the best foods we can get. Although she is not a vegetarian, she would forgo eating meat at most meals simply because she does not like the factory farm product. She wants to know where her food comes from and that it was raised in a clean environment. This has lead her to be a loyal customer at many local CSA's and Co-op's. Over the past year, she has found herself talking more and more about the importance of knowing your food source as well as learning more about a nutrient dense diet and educating yourself on the role that diet plays in our health.

She is encouraged by Beyond Organic’s mission of changing the way we eat and is excited to be with a company that is passionate about educating and nourishing the consumer. She chose to be a part of Beyond Organic because of the passion that Jordan Rubin has for health and the quality, benefits and convenience of the products. Her family enjoys the products and she doesn't have to worry about what is in it before she gives it to them.
