About

Hello! I’m Sarah, and I’m going on a journey towards living a greener life by adopting a Zero Waste lifestyle. Along the way, I’m blogging to inform and empower other people to reduce their impact on the planet too.

I have always loved spending time outdoors immersed in the natural world, and it is important to me to respect and protect nature in the way that I live my life. I want to ensure that my happiness and success is not at the expense of the environment.

However, it is not easy to live a Zero Waste lifestyle in the 21st century. Nearly every product that enters our home has both an associated carbon footprint and uses finite resources that are difficult to recover. Each day I have to be mindful that the decisions I take will affect how much rubbish I make.

Sometimes it is difficult to know the full effect your decisions are having since not all manufactures are transparent about how an item has been made and what is in it. My answer is to enquire, read as widely as I can and share with you what I find.

It can also be a very complicated topic with many different perspectives to consider. When there doesn’t seem to be a good option, it can be frustrating! I know that I am not alone in striving to make a difference. I hope that you will share your struggles and realisations to help others on their journey.

How to get involved

It is inspiring to hear about the good work that others are doing and to see the message spreading. My intention is to make the site an inclusive space where anyone who is environmentally conscious, at any stage, can learn more. I would also love you to leave comments and support others who are here to learn.
