Ecojoyous: Empowering Sustainable Living Through Artisan Goods

Owner of Ecojoyous, Hope Suson, at a local event.

Hope Suson, a proud Filipina with Hawaiian roots, is the force behind Ecojoyous. From her early life in the Philippines to her role as a credentialed teacher in Sacramento, Hope’s journey has been defined by her commitment to natural living and education. As a single mother, she recognized the need for affordable, sustainable products for her children. This personal journey laid the foundation for Ecojoyous, a shop that bridges the gap between sustainability and artistry, catering to the local community’s needs.

A Sustainable Presence Online and On-the-Go

Today, while Ecojoyous thrives as an online shop, its presence is felt at local farmers markets and events through its pop-up store and innovative mobile refillery. This unique mobile refillery allows customers to refill products such as liquid soaps, sprays, and oils, emphasizing cost efficiency and reducing environmental impact. For those who prefer shopping from the comfort of their homes, the online store boasts a collection of sustainable items like bamboo cutlery and custom soaps, reflecting Hope’s dedication to eco-friendly products.

Her dual identity as a teacher and artist sets Ecojoyous apart. With an emphasis on education, the store is not just a retail outlet but a space of creativity and empowerment. Hope’s vision of workshops and community engagement solidifies Ecojoyous as a holistic, community-centric business.

Honoring Heritage and Serving the Community

Ecojoyous is more than a business; it’s Hope’s tribute to her Asian American heritage. Through her offerings, she not only provides eco-friendly options but also empowers the community. By teaching them about recycling and sustainable choices, she ensures that the impact of Ecojoyous extends beyond its products. Partnering with local businesses like Kulture and Atrium is a testament to the store’s quality and uniqueness.

The Dream and The Future

Hope’s commitment to sustainable living has propelled Ecojoyous into the spotlight, earning her a finalist spot in the “Calling All Dreamers” competition. This contest, designed to boost downtown Sacramento’s entrepreneurial spirit, recognizes innovative business models like Ecojoyous. Winning this competition is pivotal for Ecojoyous; it will bring Hope one step closer to her dream of establishing a brick-and-mortar space, where she can further expand her refillery, retail store, and offer educational workshops on sustainable living. Support her vision by championing local businesses and casting our votes in the upcoming competition.
