Two reasons for this title today, friends. One: The March challenge of the week is to sponsor a girl so that she may receive an education. Whatever this means to you. You might begin sponsoring a child through a nonprofit and monthly financial donations. You might begin tutoring or mentoring. You might take some extra [...]

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. I ended up getting prayer requests more than anything and talked a little with a friend frustrated with the way her school was running [...]
Empowering
March's theme for our year of sustainability based on this plan is about empowering women. I love that. I love that in a year of mostly focusing specifically on environmental practices, we are taking the time to talk about gender and race and how environment is tied in with all of life.

Plants
Jumping right into it, I'd like to announce to the blog world that I've taken on a year of sustainable living journey on my personal instagram, which I've made public (at least for now, until I freak myself out again having it public lol, right?). Anyway it's right here if you want to follow along. [...]

The convincing problem
I'm reading a book about climate change. Scientifically, climate change is scary. But this book is giving me so much anxiety and dread for our environmental future. Like, I'm picturing a desert wasteland where we fight each other for food and water. At some point in this fight, you've gotta be the optimist. I already [...]
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 shared on my Instagram, but I'll repeat it here: I want to tell you all that it's okay if you can't do it. I'm coming from privilege that allows me to be [...]
the Beginning of a Journey
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, [...]
