There's a lot a lot going on politically right now that is super stressful and I totally understand if the environment is the last thing on your mind (even though... environmental issues are totally race and gender issues too..). Anyway I'm going to write about this as a coping mechanism and I hope you'll read … Continue reading The case for individual action

Impact
Hi! If you haven't read my post from last week, go ahead and do that first. Okay... Great. Last week's challenge was donating to a teacher in any sort of way.

Well, hello.
Well, hello. I fell off the face of the blog earth. I don't think anyone really cares (and I don't mean this in a depressing way. I just write for myself a lot these days.) Anyway we finished our road trip and I went silent. I went silent because I didn't know what to think … Continue reading Well, hello.

Being good to the earth is a positive side effect of this movement, of course, but I have to … Continue reading Confident.
Save the Earth (No Money Necessary)
Since starting a zero waste journey, I've been trying to keep in mind that not everyone can take the steps I can.

I'm coming from privilege that allows me to be … Continue reading Save the Earth (No Money Necessary)

So as to not waste your time, I'll tell ya this post is about the following: I've recently taken my first baby steps into a zero waste lifestyle and I want to tell everyone that it really isn't as hard as I thought it would be. This post is about my background with the earth, … Continue reading the Beginning of a Journey
