From Sustainable Business Network (MA): We are so proud to celebrate Uvida Shop (Boston, MA) as our Green Business of the Year! Founded by Maria Vasco, a visionary young entrepreneur and the first recipient of UMass Boston’s Entrepreneurship Scholarship, Uvida Shop is Boston’s very first zero-waste and eco-friendly store. From plastic-free home essentials to a beautiful plant shop, Maria has turned her passion for environmental advocacy into a mission to make sustainable living the norm. The name “Uvida”—a blend of “U” and the Spanish word for life, “Vida”—perfectly captures their goal: helping our community live life in a more eco-conscious way.

Celebrate Extraordinary Indie Local Businesses! People often overlook the positive impacts of independent, locally owned (Indie Local) businesses. The local community that an Indie Local serves may understand these impacts, but those located further away may need to be made aware of these success stories. In future posts, with your help, we will feature a few of the top Indie Locals in the nation.
You can nominate your favorite Indie Local by emailing us today.
