I am definitely not the picture-perfect environmentalist.  Far from it.  I am not zero-waste, I don’t have political influence on a large scale, and I certainly don’t have a scientific background for solving eco-issues.  BUT… I do care deeply about our planet.  I spend a lot of time thinking about ways I can reduce the negative impact of my consumption, and I love exploring creative ways to make positive change through my daily actions.  It can be tempting to feel too overwhelmed by environmental concerns to do anything at all.  It can feel like if we don’t have ALL the answers or we aren’t experts that we shouldn’t even bother.  I am deeply passionate about our environment, and I still feel tempted to listen to these voices of doubt.  But I keep showing up anyway.  

I’m sharing ideas and thoughts on my YouTube channel for anyone who might be able to gain some insight or inspiration along the way.  The upcycling projects or recipes or simple gifts can be a lot of fun, and I do deeply believe in all of them.  But I also think that one of the biggest things we can do to help our planet is to simply start talking about all of these things.  These videos are some of my reflections, thoughts, worries, and ideas on the topic of environmentalism.  Hopefully, they can help spark ideas and conversation in your life.
