  • Week 45: Live Tiny (or Smaller!)⠀ ⠀ You’d have to live under a rock if you haven’t heard of the tiny home movement. But tiny homes might not be for everyone. Even if you have a family with kids, you might consider moving to a smaller home to lower your carbon footprint and I think you’d find some other amazing side effects from being in a smaller space! My family downsized to a smaller home about 5 years ago. The main floor is about 900 square feet and really just one big room. Here are the changes that we’ve enjoyed https://www.52togreen.com/live-tiny/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #tinyhouse #lowimpact #tinyliving #tinyhome #tinyhomes #livetiny #livesmall #livelighter #livegreener
  • How much more lovely this world would be if we could take away the cars. #52togreen #52waystobegreen #natureconnection #thatbirdthough 😍
  • Week 44: Go Trashless⠀ ⠀ Zero waste is a term for a lifestyle that aims to produce - you guessed it - zero waste. It’s a wonderful idea but actually a really horrible name for an amazing movement because it’s actually impossible in our current culture to produce no waste. But in our attempts to get to zero, we can find a low waste lifestyle that produces much less garbage than average. Which, you know…. Is pretty important these days. https://www.52togreen.com/go-trashless/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #zerowaste #gotrashless #lowwaste #zerowasteirl #reducewhatyouproduce
  • Community. As an introvert with young kids, it's hard to find ways to connect with your community. Most workshops are in the evening when I'm putting little people to bed, and it's hard to muster the energy to connect with friends in the little free time that exists in life. . But one a year, my heart is filled with community at Guelph's Resilience Festival. I've been honoured to help plan this festival for the last 5 years and I dare say this year was one of the best. . I spent the day in the kitchen at Dublin Street United Church cooking food to share with all these lovely people who came out to celebrate Earth Hour with battery powered candles and solar charges Christmas lights. . Until next year.... . #52togreen #52waystobegreen #connectwithcommunity #resilience #festival #potluck #sharing #sharingfood #earthhour #guelph #resiliencefestival #transitionguelph
  • Week 43: Live Intentionally⠀ ⠀ Every day, we go through so many actions and sometimes we forget that we actually have control over these actions - we can make choices about how we want to live our lives. When we stop the habits and make conscious choices instead, we live with intention. https://www.52togreen.com/live-intentionally/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #mindfulness #livingwithintention #meditation
  • Spring is in the air! Prepping for gardening, park visits, and outside play after a long winter inside is super exciting. It's still hovering around 5 degrees in south western Ontario but it might as well be 25! Who else is ready for spring?! . . #52togreen #52waystobegreen #getoutside #spring #readyforspring #warmerweather #goodbyewinter #timetogetoutside #hellospring #playoutside #walks #cutekids #cutekiddos #seriouslycute
  • Week 42: Carsharing⠀ ⠀ This week we are going to back to transportation and look at another great way to lower your carbon footprint, but also save a lot of money: carsharing. Carsharing is an idea that goes beyond carpooling and actually shares the car between two or more families. In doing so, you also share all the expenses that come with owning a vehicle like initial cost, repairs, insurance, and even gas. https://www.52togreen.com/carsharing/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #carsharing #share #carpooling #worktogether #sharingisthenewcaring
  • Last week, we got a giant rip in our fitted sheet and decided it was time to replace rather than repair. My partner ventured into Marshall's armed with gift cards from when we got married 4.5 years ago and came out with organic cotton sheets wrapped in *gasp* an organic cotton bag as packaging! No plastic! What an amazing example of companies using what they have on hand rather than wrapping their product in plastic that would be stuck in a landfill for the next 500 years. Not only can I reuse the bag, but it will break down and decompose naturally in 6 months. I could even put it in my compost pile. 😍 #52togreen #52waystobegreen #lessplastic #lesstrash #lowwaste #lowwasteliving #lowimpactfamily #lowwastefamily #susainable #packaging #zerowastehome #zerowasteirl #zerowastefamily #sustainableoptions #plasticsucks #organic #cotton #organiccotton

    Week 2: Drink Tap Water

    / May 23, 2018

    There’s been no shortage of reasons why people should turn on their taps rather than drink bottled water but that doesn’t seem to have changed enough minds out there. I have friends who…
