Harper Ridley

She’s a mom on a mission, a dedicated school teacher, and a successful businesswoman helping the planet! Whitney Dawson created her company Harper Ridley to help consumers to make small changes that are good for our earth! Her passion is pervasive, and her impact is laudable. Products like her gorgeous reusable snack bags replace traditional plastic or ziplock bags, so that households can reduce their footprint. In addition to making a positive environmental impact, Whitney is also committed to making a social impact. For every sale of her adorable zero waste bows, she donates $1 towards supporting healthy lunches for students who would otherwise go hungry through Brown Bagging 4 Calgary Kids— as a teacher, this cause is near and dear to her heart!  Her products’ aesthetic is light & pretty, like a spring day! Helping the planet never looked so good.
