    The hidden cost of convenience: Types of plastic pollution and their impact

    May 13, 2025 /

    Plastic has quietly overtaken our modern lives because of its convenience, durability, and affordability. It is everywhere – on our food, in our clothing, surrounding us in our home and office furnishings.

    Why Start a Sustainability Blog? Celebrating 5 years of Blogging Together

    May 6, 2025 /

    Last month , Krista and I celebrated our five year anniversary of launching our blog. It’s hard to believe that five years have gone by already!

It’s humbling to have visitors from all over the world sharing this sustainability journey with us. The Roots Krista and I have been friends for well…

    April 29, 2025 /

    In a world increasingly aware of the impact of consumerism and waste, garage sales offer a powerful, practical solution: they help reduce landfill waste, extend the life of products, and promote community sharing.

Alison and I hosted a garage sale just a couple of weeks ago and so I thought I’d share a few thoughts and tips from the experience for anyone considering hosting a similar event!
