What We’re About

Our goal is to reduce waste and plastic dependency by developing new habits and skills. Every month for the next year, I will be doing an eco-friendly challenge with a focus on reducing single-use plastics and seeing what it takes to maintain those changes. By sharing this journey I hope to provide tips and encouragement for your own eco-friendly changes.
