Is sustainability important to you? Are you here to learn more about sustainability? You’ve come to the right place. Sustainability is :
avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance.
When I first went vegan, it was purely for ethical reasons. I did it solely for the animals and I’m happy with that reason. It’s probably the only reason that would have made me do something so drastic. However, once I went vegan and started absorbing every new piece of literature, every new documentary and gathering every piece of information I could about veganism, I started learning the other reasons : health (super important as well!) and environment. And, thus, my road to being more sustainable was born. Sustainable can also be referred to as responsible, ethical and eco-friendly. In my opinion, these are all interchangeable terms. I want this page to be an ever-growing resource of sustainable tips and how to’s, eco-friendly lodging reviews, ethical fashion, tips on staying local and much more. Make sure to check back often as this space will continue to grow!
