Why Sustainability

We are in the middle of a devastating climate crisis. While the majority of the responsibility is held by top polluting corporations, we each have a responsibility to do our part to limit our carbon footprints and reduce our environmental impact on the earth.

Often, the idea of switching to a sustainable lifestyle can seem overwhelming, intimidating, or expensive. The purpose of this blog is to showcase simple lifestyle changes to inspire small changes. Over time, small changes work together to create a lasting impact.

A sustainable lifestyle can look different for everyone, and steps can include limiting trash, increasing recycling, purchasing clothing from a thrift store or consignment shop, purchasing a hybrid or electric vehicle, supporting businesses that use compostable packaging, and a myriad of other ideas.

This blog also highlights products and companies that are also committed to a more environmentally conscious future.

By no means are these suggestions an encouragement to throw out everything you own and purchase new products. Rather, these are ideas to slowly replace items you have as you have need for them, with the goal of adopting a more sustainable, earth-friendly lifestyle one step at a time. There is no such thing as perfection and the greatest impact will be had when more people do things imperfectly, rather than only a few striving for perfection.
