About Us
Green Canary cofounders Kevin Tuerff and Valerie Davis started Tuerff-Davis EnviroMedia Inc. 11 years ago as the nation's only full-service advertising and public relations firm dedicated solely to environmental and public health campaigns. In 1997, they founded America Recycles Day with then-Vice President Al Gore as honorary chair, and have since conducted hundreds of corporate advertising and social marketing campaigns for clients like Dell, Green Mountain Energy, Tetra Pak and CleanFUEL USA. Today, Green Canary is a subsidiary company of Tuerff-Davis EnviroMedia Inc., along with EnviroMedia Social Marketing.
Earlier this year, Tuerff and Davis launched GreenwashingIndex.com in partnership with the University of Oregon as a public service effort to educate consumers on how to scrutinize environmental marketing claims. They have appeared on the TODAY Show, in Brandweek and the Washington Times, and join other sustainability leaders from Yahoo!, Kodak and Office Depot as monthly columnists for EnvironmentalLeader.com.
In December, Tuerff and Davis were among a handful of American businesses participating in the U.N. Conference on Climate Change in Bali, Indonesia.
