Care Not Crunch

I believe caring for the environment doesn't mean sacrificing comfort.

Let's talk about how we can do our part but not quite crunchy.

About Me.

I'm an Earth loving mom of two kids and a dog. When I'm not working or taking care of my family, I enjoy being outside in nature. Nature is my happy place and I want to do what I can to keep our planet healthy so my kids can enjoy it as much as I do!

It all started in college.

I took an Environmental Science course and unlocked a passion. I almost changed my major but then decided that I was too far into my business degree. I chose to focus my non-work time on learning strategies to lower my negative environmental impact.

While I have a passion for doing right by our beautiful planet Earth, found that many online communities go to the extreme. I believe in balance and living authentically. I wanted to create a place for people who love our planet but also live a busy modern life.

We can reduce our carbon footprint while functioning at a modern pace. We do not need to sacrifice all modern comforts in order to make an impact. I want to show likeminded folks what I do, to reduce waste and carbon footprint, for the purpose of sharing information and creating a non-judgmental community of Earth lovers!

The areas I focus on.

I love categorizing stuff. Here are the main categories I plan on touching on in this blog:

Solid Waste Output Reduction

We all produce waste. I've identified ways to reduce the amount of waste output my household creates.

Utility Use Reduction

Indoor plumbing and electricity are wonderful modern amenities. We can reduce our consumption without discomfort.

Fossil Fuel Reduction

We can't all drive EVs. Here are ways I reduce my carbon footprint and still remain functional in our modern society.
