About

As a kid I remember feeling deeply influenced when I learned that humans have a direct impact on the health of the planet. Lessons about deforestation, the impacts of oil spills on ecosystems and threats facing wildlife were startling realizations that turned my young worldview inside out.

 

Disheartened by the challenges but optimistic that I could do my part, simple ideas like "leaving no trace" outdoors and turning the water off while brushing teeth became meaningful tips turned into life-long practices. 

​

Now, as my desire to learn more and live more sustainably has grown, so has my call to action to pass on that information to my children and future stewards of the earth.​ My hope is to do a little better in my own life and home and broaden my understanding of what's possible through sustainable living. 

 

I challenge you to think about the areas of your life where you can integrate more sustainable practices.​ Through enough small steps toward more eco-friendly living, maybe we can all get somewhere together.
