Lisa Kivirist explains that “ecoprenuer”

is a combination of the words ‘ecology’

and ‘entrepreneur’ saying, “we need

more people out there who blend

their passion for leaving this world

a better place and a greener planet,

with their livelihood and their business.” 

And Soil Sisters are ecopreneurs, in every sense of the word.
