Sustainability can be economical and ecological

My goal is to aid people in creating sustainable lives, both economically and ecologically. People will make changes for varying reasons; some to save money, others to preserve our Earth. When these two reasons can come together and attain the same goal, this makes for sustainable living on a broad scale and benefits us all.

These changes may seem like a lot of effort at first. They may seem more costly to invest in reusable materials instead of disposable. They may take a lifestyle change and require baby steps. My recommendation to you is to find the ideas that are realistic for your lifestyle and begin there. I have, in order to maintain my budget, invested in my reusable products over the course of months. So, you see, there is no need to rush into this if you cannot. There is no shame in taking baby steps, either to maintain your comfort zone or your pocketbook. After all, if change isn’t comfortable and economic, how can it be sustainable in the long run? The ideas I post won’t be overly expensive. It is my mission to find the bargains that will reap the biggest rewards. I truly believe that when you see the change in your finances and your waste reduction you will be inspired to add more sustainability to your life, little by little.

The ideas I post are not always my own, and I will always give credit where it is due. I hope to bring more followers to the people who inspire me and help me to maintain this blog with fresh ideas.
