The Beginning of Earth Month

Hello friends! Happy Tuesday! Happy April! Happy Earth month! 

In 20-ish days it will be Earth Day. If you've been paying attention the past few months, you may have noticed that I've been on a mission to lead a more sustainable life: one baby step at a time. Because it's earth month, I have a few posts planned to provide you with resources and highlight my favorite ideas from these posts.

Before I start sharing anything, I feel like I should share a little disclaimer: I am not perfect. I do not live a completely waste-free life. I make mistakes (the 4 single use straws I used in March and a few plastic bags here and there), and I do have wants for items that I might not need (I just want a pair of Chanel shoes before I die please!). Some times those items that I want aren't produced ethically, and I have purchased unethically produced items before. There will be times that I purchase them in the future. But I am doing the best that I can at this point in my life.The point of these posts are to give ideas and encourage you to whatever you are capable of and feel is necessary/should be incorporated into your lifestyle. It's your choice; I'm just providing information for you to consider.

With all of this said, I want to share an idea that I've heard a lot of accounts talk about and repost. I don't have the exact wording, but basically, we're more likely to make a change if a bunch of people are doing a lot of little things instead of a few people doing everything. So don't beat yourself up like I do if you're creating trash because everyone can do a little part.

I'll be sharing more on these topics in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Much Love,

Jacquelyn
