Ashantae and her husband, Marvin Green, were married in 2013. And later that year they welcomed their son Ayden Green. Ayden was born with sickle cell disease. Desperately looking for answers on how to best support their son, the Greens turned to a green lifestyle. The focus was on a healthy environment and a healthy diet. Ayden, who is now six years old, is one of the most fun-loving children around. And the Green family has kept their deep connection to green living. They frequently source food from their outdoor garden to cook stews and snacks. And they turn their scrap food into compost to provide nutrients for the soil in their backyard!
That love for earth carries over into their community too. You will frequently see the Greens volunteering their time to aid in conservation efforts across Northeast Florida. Whether they are doing roadside litter pickups, aiding in beach cleanups or helping those in need, their commitment to community remains as steadfast as ever.
In their household there is one code: Love each other and love the earth. That’s the motto they want the First Coast to live by also. #AGreenDuvalForALL
