I thought blogging ended in 2013, but here we are. This is a little passion project of mine starting to come to life.

There is a lot of ignorance about environmentalism and sustainability, and while this ignorance is often innocent, unfortunately it is also often willful. This site will work to confront this ignorance and hopefully provide information that everyone can use.

I am also painfully aware that much of environmentalism and crafting a sustainable lifestyle comes from a place of privilege. Along with greenwashing (which I will address at some point), I have noticed a great deal of whitewashing. And I’m no exception to that. However, I wish to make sustainability as accessible to everyone — after all, the goal is to create a better Earth for everyone and it is lower income communities which suffer disproportionately from pollution and the effects of climate change.

Perhaps most importantly, I try not to judge – even in the face of willful ignorance. We all have to start somewhere, and making sustainability and environmentalism as open and accepting as possible will make others feel welcome and embrace change that betters ourselves and our planet. I stopped eating meat over 10 years ago, and every year has been an education and improvement in how I can reduce my own environmental impact. I’m far from zero waste, or even plastic-free, but I’m trying. One person isn’t going to make much of a difference, but collectively we can do some real good. Let’s learn and grow together!
