Renée Loux has been a trendsetter in the burgeoning environmental movement for over a decade. Dubbed the "Queen of Green" and oft called a Green Guru, Loux is an author, eco-consultant, television personality, chef, restaurateur, and monthly columnist for Women's Health Magazine.
Renée has published four books to date including the definitive guide to green lifestyle, Easy Green Living, the Gourmand Award-winning The Balanced Plate and Living Cuisine, and her most recent collaboration, the Whole Green Catalog.
Host of It's Easy Being Green on the Fine Living Channel, Renée is a frequent guest on NBC's Today Show, Extra!, and Inside Edition. As an eco-advisor, green writer, researcher and product tester, Loux understands the rapidly growing eco-market, the science behind it, and the consumer's needs for natural, fine living.
Loux sits on the board of Exhale Spas - where she collaborated to design and formulate GRN, an eco-conscious and mindfully designed skin care line - as well as on the board of Traditional Home Magazine and Pistachio, a chain of eco-boutiques created by the founder of the Indigo/Chapters book and music empire.
She founded one of America's first raw food restaurants in 1996 and is now a partner in Mala Wailea restaurant in Maui Hawaii, specializing in local, organic Hawaiian Regional cuisine and with behind-the-scenes dedication to sustianable, eco-friendly practices. Other notable partners include actor/director Clint Eastwood, rocker Alice Cooper, basketball ledgend Don Nelson, entertainment maven Shep Gordon, and executive chef Mark Ellman.
With a desire to educate, empower, and impassion people, Loux advocates a green lifestyle that is defined by clean living inside and out. From delicious gourmet fare to nontoxic, effective cleaning products, from pure skincare and sustainable fashion to luxury organic housewares, Renee champions the finest products and companies supported by hard research that confirms her commitment to people and the planet.
A New York native transplanted to Hawaii in 1995, Renée lives on the island of Maui with her husband, Shep Gordon, in a house on the beach powered by solar energy.
