American Veteran and Eco-Entrepreneur, Jackie Hernandez
Veteran’s Day, the day America honors the men and woman who serve in the military, is tomorrow. that holiday is not about your position on war or peace or military spending. It’s about the women and men who voluntarily serve our country to prepare it a better place. So The Green Parent is proud to salute all of America’s veterans. And I’d like to take a minute to get to know one of them a little better. Meet American Veteran, Green Parent, and Eco-Enterpreneur, Jackie Hernandez.
TGP: Tell me a bit more about your date in the service.
JH: I was Active Duty Air Force from 2002-2003. I was a Communications Officer responsible for network defense. I was stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia. I am still an Air Force Ready Reserve Member.
TGP: As a veteran, how do you and your family recognize Veteran’s Day?
JH: Since my husband is additionally an Air Force veteran and Veteran’s Day is the day we started dating it holds special meaning to us. We always try to spend the day together and reconnect with friends from our military service.
TGP: What made you go into eco-business?
JH: Just as I think we all need to do our part to support our country, we all need to do our part to support our planet. My educational background is in Environmental Science and Biology. So when I decided to start Tiny Décor there was no doubt that I would try to be as eco-friendly as possible. It was fundamental to me to manufacture products that are eco-friendly and sell products by other eco-friendly manufacturers. I additionally write the Tiny Décor Blog that promotes eco-friendly parenting and design.
TGP: Do you have children? Boys/girls? Ages?
JH: I have one son who is 15 months old.
Thanks Jackie. And thanks to all of America’s veterans. The Green Parent salutes you.
