Today, everyone is embracing a greener lifestyle by buying organic food, recycling, and changing out their lightbulbs. We are fortunate enough to live in a state that truly embraces this lifestyle and truly is engrained in our VT culture. It’s important to realize that every purchase decision made has an impact on the Earth. We all know that consuming less is eco-friendly, but at some point everyone needs to buy something new.
When you need something new but want to find products that have little or no negative impact on the Earth, The Green Life is the place to go!
The Green Life is locally owned and operated by Michael and Shannon Hassenberg, a husband and wife team. Shannon always dreamed of owning her own boutique. Mike has an ever increasing concern over the health of our planet. Both wanted to learn how to minimize their impact on the Earth. Wanting to live a more sustainable lifestyle and provide a healthier home for their three young children, Shannon’s urban style and Mike’s eco-awareness combined to create The Green Life—a unique shopping experience in Burlington, Vermont.
Located on Main St. in downtown Burlington, The Green Life is a place for costumers to buy products that are sustainable, recycled, upcycled or made of eco-friendly materials like organic cotton or bamboo. Buying green goods helps reduce the amount of waste filling up landfills, helps protect our natural resources, and helps reduce the toxins and chemicals surrounding us.

I have yet to head in this store, I always see it when we are on our way out of town.. it’ll give me a good reason to stop!
I tend to buy all my cleaning supplies and anything that we consumer or touches us regularly organic or eco-friendly… like cosmetics etc. (if we can afford it!)
We are a total green family and love it!! Huge fan of the green life 🙂
I was in a few months a go. Such a cool collection of earth friendly things!
Yes please!!
Cleaning supplies… and pretty much anything that’s affordable…
Would love to visit this store next time I am in Burlington!
I try to buy Eco friendly cleaning and kid’s stuff. Really, anything that we usually use.
I’ve always wanted to visit The Green Life. I’ve visited the website many times and loved what I saw. I hope to bring the baby in this summer while downtown!
Dish soap. I like the 7th Gen Dish Soap.
Most of our food is organic and as local as possible.
But when we were preparing our nursery we also bought as many organic baby products as possible including bed sheets and linens, shampoos and creams.
I love to buy eco/organic as much as possible. Especially products for my children.
I buy eco friendly as much as possible & The Green Life has some really cool stuff
