What is a green consumer?

A green consumer aims to reduce their personal environmental footprint, choosing options that have a positive or less negative influence on the natural environment and society.

Environmental and Ethical Considerations

Acting out of respect for the wellbeing of the entire society and the health of the planet, not just personal needs.

Understanding Consumption's Broader Effect

Going beyond green labels to consider what products are truly sustainably sourced or energy-saving; and considering all stages of a product’s life – from production to disposal.

Gradually Reshaping Habits

Breaking bad habits and creating good ones to support a more sustainable lifestyle– such as supporting responsible businesses, reducing waste, and consuming less of some things.

About Me

Hi there! Welcome to my blog! My name is Kristine.

I enjoy life and modern comforts and conveniences as much as the next person, but have started asking what it takes to make my lifestyle possible. Modern life is not set up for long-term sustainability. We all know that, but it is easy to forget as we go about our day-to-day.

I have started living more deliberately, making small changes and implementing new habits and considering what my role in the world is. Here I share my thoughts as I sift through all the sustainability information I come across and share practical things I or anyone can do to make our comfortable lifestyle last longer.
