The tone of this blog post is a little more serious than usual because we need immediate action. With hurricane season upon us, consecutive days with record breaking temperatures rising, and the symptoms of a changing climate becoming increasingly evident, the time for individual action is now. Just because you aren’t experiencing the effects first hand does not mean you are free to carry on as usual. Individual action from a large group of people has the power to change the world.
The word overconsumption has become increasingly common in modern media. Images of mountains of discarded clothes, endless morning routine vlogs, and trash islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean illuminate our society’s need to replace and discard unnecessary items continuously. However, the book, “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,” by Robin Wall Kimmerer, argues that we have all that we need and that reliance on each other for care and gifts is crucial to our mutual success.
Without taking a closer look, plastic may seem completely harmless. It is easy to use, easy to dispose of, and keeps products clean and sanitary. However, the issue arises when these plastics are continuously made and discarded. Plastic, an inorganic material, is not easily broken down by bacteria, and until recently there wasn’t much research on biodegradable plastic materials.

Your company has the power to shift climate mitigation towards progress or regression. In this blog post, we will be highlighting the current trends of corporate sustainability and outlining the way your company can make a real difference.
While a month of dedicated action is commendable, it’s not enough to reverse the damage. Real change comes when many people are committed to forming lasting habits. Sustainable habits are not formed overnight. They form through intentional practice until a behavior becomes second nature.
Earth Day is a time when we come together to celebrate the planet that provides us with so much. But, as much as it’s a day of reflection, it should serve as a reminder that making a lasting impact doesn’t just happen in one day out of the year. Continuous action is what will result […]
When it comes to fighting climate change, it’s easy to feel like one person’s efforts won’t make a significant difference, or even any difference at all. The truth is, individual actions have a powerful ripple effect that can collectively cause monumental change. In fact, the potential for individuals to spark a broader transformation is why the climate movement can and must be started from the ground up.
