Changing our habits is not easy... particularly when we live in a society that puts great value on accummulative wealth, hyper consumption and a capitalist economy.
It takes both individual and collective action to see positive changes so I share realistic tips and honest advice, based on my own journey as well as news of the people, products, events and businesses trying to make the world a better place through more sustainable, ethical choices.
Hopefully you'll find practical, relatable tips on slowing down, simplifying your life, adopting low waste habits and thoughtful conscious consumerism.
