Hello, I'm Aalia Mauro, Founder/CEO of Verte Mode, Verte Magazine, & Host of The Greening Show. Climate news is frequently not covered broadly or responsibly in the media, and we know how important it is to be well-informed so we can all do our part to drive climate action. At the same time, there’s not been a comprehensive source to guide how we can all live sustainably daily. So, this was the impetus for starting Verte Magazine, your go-to guide to stylish, sustainable living. Our digital edition offers convenient access on any device, anywhere. Our Bi-Annual print issues arrive sustainably. Each issue contains easy tips and under-the-radar finds to help you shop, clean, cook, entertain and travel better for you and the planet. We aim to make sustainable living feel fun, attainable, and inspiring instead of daunting. Imagine the difference we could make if all of us knew a little more about climate change and how to live sustainably.

A sensory refuge, this scent embodies a sense of calm, the peacefulness of nature, and feelings of warmth, family and familiarity. It was crafted from the memory of a hidden Oriental-style garden in Taiwan where family, and a brewing pot of sweet, oolong tea, could always be found, and where the woodsy-smoky smell of incense from a morning prayer ritual blended with the wet, grassy freshness of the surrounding plants. Approximate burn time: 8 oz.: 50 hours Care Instructions: Plant-based wax, essential oils and fragrance, ceramic jar Always trim the wick to ¼ inch prior to each use. If the flame is creating black smoke residue on the inner side of the jar, extinguish the flame and trim the wick before lighting it again.
