Will: Our Co-Founder & Friend, Always

It’s been an incredible year for Ecovention. Mentions of the GreenBox have been ever-present, from talk shows to radio shows, from blogs to beyond. It’s thrilling, humbling, and everything we ever wanted. But through it all… we can’t help but think of Will.

Three years ago this November, we lost our beloved co-founder & GreenBox creator, William Walsh. He was a passionate leader, a caring father, and a forever friend; he was a human being we were lucky to know. His genius was contagious. His smile and wit lit up the room. He was a man with soul, an unwavering spirit, and an unforgettable presence.

The world just hasn’t been the same. We’re missing him always.

But the truth is, he hasn’t left us. With every moment of success & happiness, we feel him. We heard him cheering us on when the GreenBox made headlines in The Huffington Post. We felt his hugs & high-fives when we were featured on segments of The Chew, Rachael Ray & MSNBC. We saw his soulful eyes light up with pride when the GreenBox made waves in Buzzfeed & The LA Times. He’s here, every step of the way, pushing us forward toward his dreams – and ours.

So today, we want to thank him. For the invention he brought to life, for the way he’s changing the world, and for the lives he has touched. He always wanted to make a difference… and we’re immensely proud to be a part of his vision, realized. 

This is only the beginning.

Chew on This

We’re a small company with big dreams. And we’re spreading like wildfire.

It all started with Vine. GreenBox’s video was the featured video of the day, and in just 10 hours, had over 10,000 likes, 2,500 comments, and almost 3,000 shares. Today, those numbers have doubled.

That was just the beginning.

Wake Up Montana, Local 4 News in Detroit & Good Day Philadelphia… it seemed like the entire nation was talking about the GreenBox. Radio stations and blogs were beaming about our eco-friendly product, calling it the “smartest idea ever!”

But that’s not all. The GreenBox made an appearance on ABC’s The Chew, Today.com & CBS’ The Rachael Ray Show. Within the past two weeks, we’ve increased our Facebook likes by almost 40%, while our YouTube video has over 2 million hits. We’ve gotten calls from pizzerias across the world – from Australia to South America, all the way to France and beyond. It’s been remarkable, and humbling.

It’s quite possible that our product is, in fact, “changing the world one pizza box at a time.”  And to think…it all started with a college kid’s creative mind & larger than life dreams.

Looking forward to what’s to come, and we can’t wait to have you along for the ride.
