In this spotlight series, my goal is to amplify youth activists from each continent. This month’s continent is Antarctica, which is the only continent that doesn’t have a permanent human settlement.

Read MoreToday is World Wetlands Day and this year’s theme is a call to take action to protect global wetlands. Did you know that according to the U.S EPA, “wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs”?
Read MoreI’m excited to kick off this spotlight series on youth activists that I’ll be releasing every other month this year.

Read MoreWhether you’ve been in environmental spaces for a while or have just begun your sustainable journey, you’ve likely heard the term “carbon footprint.” In the early 2000s, the oil and gas company BP popularized that term as part of a public campaign (more on that later on).

Read MoreRecently, I read something that reminded me that life doesn’t start once we finally reach a bunch of goals like starting a new business, losing weight, or finally having the perfect apartment. Life is now. It’s the everyday moments that we try to rush through and eschew in favor of planning our futures. Living in an ongoing pandemic has reminded me of the importance of grasping ahold of the current moment and there were a lot of really good ones to cup in the palm of my hand.
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but I like to do a deep clean between the holidays and the start of the new year. This year I’ve been slowly swapping more and more of my products out for eco-friendlier versions and I have some perfect eco-friendly bathroom essentials to get you started.

Read MoreAs the famous American writer, womanist, and civil rights activist Audre Lorde once wrote, "I think despair is an endemic part of revolution. No revolution happens within one lifetime so we work to capacity, we believe in what we are doing knowing full well we won’t see the fruits of our labor. It is a hard place to hold."
Whether you would describe yourself as a climate activist or not, if you care about the environment then you likely feel somewhat stressed or anxious about our planet's future.
