Tess is a community-powered platform where real neighbors share what actually works — turning local experience into verified, trustworthy environmental guidance.
The real barrier to a greener world
isn't awareness.
Most people want to make sustainable choices. The problem is inconvenience, confusion, and the absence of trustworthy local guidance. Generic internet advice doesn't know your neighborhood.
Tess is built on a simple insight: when enough people redirect their spending toward non-polluting alternatives, market forces do the rest.
The taproot of the environmental problem tree is consumer spending on polluting technologies, products, services, and practices. Redirecting that spending toward non-polluting alternatives is all that's needed to ignite the green economy.
Seven areas where solutions actually matter.
Every solution on Tess is organized using the ESIM 7-Petal Environmental Solutions Framework.
Before the platform, we tested the mission in real life.
Atlanta Green Market — Tess's real-world precursor — ran sustainable pop-up markets across Atlanta from 2022–2024.
Built by people who believe the market can save the planet.
"We believe that consumer-driven, market-based environmental problem-solving is the only practical strategy for rapid deceleration of environmental decline."
