I’ve decided to quit Amazon. I might be a little late to the party on this one (or maybe not, since Amazon is still one of the most profiting companies in the world), but I’ve decided it’s time to quit buying from Amazon.

This week, I decided to take action to eliminate something that I felt was a growing problem in my life: increasing smartphone use.

Want to find more happiness? Add more challenge to your life. There’s something that I’ve come to learn from my sustainability journey: challenge always appears hard, but the result is always more happiness. When you challenge yourself to do something, it’s likely to be something you aspire to; a change to take you a step closer to who you want […]
Your impact is small. We hear it all the time. Your individual action will have such a tiny impact on the environment it almost doesn’t matter at all. It’s pretty much true. And that’s okay.
