Hello dear readers! In order to continue delivering you hopeful stories of sustainability success, I’m adding a second weekly feature to the blog! I’m calling it Sustainability Sundays. This week, we’re in conversation with Phil Vincent, ocean advocate and author of the novel, ‘Varuna.’ What to Expect What’s different about this post versus Wake-Up Wednesday…
Hello readers! Welcome back to the weekly edition of Wake-Up Wednesday Wins. This week’s edition features stories of small acts that (I think) are making a big impact on this planet. Why small acts? I’ll let Dr. Zinn here tell you why: “We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the…
It’s been a minute since we woke up to any wins on this blog! I won’t waste any time: let’s get back to it. To recap the concept: each Wednesday, I’ll feature a set of “success stories” that feature good news only. Specifically, I’m targeting stories that give our oceans (and humanity) a boost. Waste…
Opt-Out October was started by a small group of environmental badasses on Kauai. Formed around the concept of kicking disposable plastic’s buttasana, the group is encouraging folks to begin where they are, work towards eliminating wasteful plastics from their diets, and becoming more mindful about purchases and interactions with their trash. The challenge: Rule No….
It’s the Wednesday of World Ocean’s Day & Week! It’s a big freakin’ deal! World Ocean’s Day: June 8. Similar to Earth Day, a day to celebrate our watery planet. Also similar to Earth Day, it’s something we should be conscious of every day. I know, there are so many things to be conscious of…
Local food is one thing I get really excited about. It is so damn important to close the gap between food producers and consumers. Buying local food means supporting our neighbours and local economies, using less plastic, saving the oceans, and becoming more healthy. There is no reason not to support this movement, people! This…
This post is simply an ode to plants, and the beauty and abundance they bring to our every-day lives. As you may know, I love plants. I love to grow and buy them. I especially love to eat them. Yesterday was such a plant-filled day, it left me feeling so excited about life! The day…
Hello, dear readers and welcome back to another round of Wednesday Wins. It’s been a minute but this weekly offering is back. Now more than ever, we need positive, uplifting stories to keep us going through our weird days. (For those reading this post five years from now, we’re still in the middle of a…
Hi friends, it’s been a little quiet here and I’m sorry! Despite all that’s currently going on, there are so, so many stories of success it’s almost overwhelming – and this week was Earth Day! I haven’t known what to focus my weekly Wednesday Wins posts on. So for now, I thought I’d deviate from…
Today I’m deviating from my usual Wake-Up Wednesday Wins today to bring you some musings on the book I’m currently reading (David & Goliath) and an offering to join me in the book-readin’ process (Greeny Green Book Club). It’s short and sweet (just like the banana bread in that photo ;)). David & Goliath is…
Hello friends and welcome to another round of Wake-Up Wednesday Wins. We’re back on track and posting on Wednesday this time. Because I got a bit of a late start last week, this week’s wins are a little longer than usual. A lot has happened this week in the realm of sustainability, ocean health, collaboration,…
Ohhhh dear readers – sometimes we fall off the wagon, and it hurts. Do you agree? I was going strong! Posting regularly, connecting all these stories to the preservation of our oceans…and then this week happened. Everything was late, I waited until the last minute on all my projects, Mercury went into retrograde and everything…
