Takuma Nitta was one of the thousands of people affected by the 2011 Japan 9.1 magnitude earthquake and 132.5 ft. tsunami waves. He saw a natural disaster completely destroy communities, families and the environment.

In the midst of all the rubble and dust, a seed of hope was planted into Takuma. He walked away from Japan inspired to restore the beauty of his hometown. Four years later, Urban Green Makers was born with one purpose.
“Our big mission is the environment and the main mission of the brand is to change one life,” says Urban Green Makers brand manager Tristan Schmitt. “

The beauty of this company is that not one but two recipients benefit from a transaction. Children in the communities that Urban Green Makers serves learn the importance of giving back to the environment. They’re also taught that beauty and life can be restored in damaged and lifeless situations.
Besides emphasizing the importance of giving back to the environment and helping natural disaster affected communities, Urban Green Makers also inspires the act of generosity and service. Tristan says that with a little bit of initiative and finding people who have the same desire to benefit the earth and others in need, people can make a difference in their community.
“Get out there, connect with like-minded people and take a step forward. Whether it’s picking up trash or cleaning the beach, finding those people with the same goal is important.”
