Tackling the zero waste lifestyle can feel as if you're climbing Everest. It's new, challenging, and rare. But, fret not. This is TOTALLY doable, I promise. In this video, I share with you my tips for transitioning to a sustainable, zero waste lifestyle.
I hope these are new ideas you haven't heard in blogs. I mean no hate to bloggers or influencers. I only think this movement has to be more inclusive to have an impact. It needs to go beyond the elitist realm it currently resides.

I am wearing Eucalyptus in Tortoise, DUNE in Crimson, and Citrus in Crimson.
Plastic. We seem to be drowning in the stuff. Globally more than one million plastic bottles are sold every single MINUTE. They say by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic than fish. What can we do?
I’ve been studying plastic pollution for 5 years. I've learned we need a combination of individual action and large scale changes from businesses and governments.

Electric Bike or Car? Have you tried an electric bicycle? Would you ride an e-bike instead of your car? I used to live in a city where everything was within walking distance. I would walk to the Grocery Store to buy ingredients for dinner but rural America is very sprawling and not exactly car-free designed. Public transportation is not an option and unreliable in many parts of America. It is a privilege to have access to transportation.

2. Have good bag to carry your items. Glass can be heavyyyy. Don't break your back. I choose a backpack to help me carry my belongings around town. My exact bag, goo.gl/3rRn12
3. Bring what you need. I only carry one utensil not the whole pack. Keep it minimal. #minimalism
