Naturalist, broadcaster, and conservationist David Attenborough is definitely one of my heroes. The 96 year old has dedicated an entire lifetime to studying the planet, its history, diversity, and threats. There is a reason he is so well-known and celebrated by now. Of course, I'm inspired by anyone who has followed their passions and curiosity in such a way that it positively impacts lives beyond theirs--it's just really special to see in a world so heavy. We've posted many David Attenborough ... Read More

Bringing Nature Indoors: The Best Books for Plant Lovers
Anyone who tells you houseplants are easy has a natural knack for it, I swear. I do not, but after about five years of trial and error, I've managed to get a few varieties to survive (and sometimes thrive!) in my home. I love nature, so bringing greenery indoors is a big mood booster for me, though I try to be mindful about how many I buy because most houseplants you see aren't exactly sustainable. That means being more intentional about tending to my plant babies, to ensure they live long, ... Read More
Another Sustainable Swim Post: 12 Eco Friendly Swimsuits for Summer 2022

6 Powerhouse Mushrooms to Add to Your Diet
I don’t know why, but talking about mushrooms always makes me giggle. Maybe it’s because when you mention mushrooms people seem to imagine hippies, and tie-dye, and lots of fringe.

But with the rise in holistic health and natural supplements, mushrooms have taken on a whole new purpose and image in the public eye. Curiosity and experimentation have driven a new interest in the ... Read More
These Colorful Etsy Rugs Will Transform Your Home into an Abstract Dreamscape
It's definitely no secret that one of my favorite ways to decorate is with creative handmade rugs. I've shared my favorite ethically made rugs, wrote a guide on where to find fair trade rugs, interviewed sustainable brands about their rug making process, and umm, lots more. I've gone through phases with the types of rugs I adore at the moment, from Mexican rugs to Indian rugs to the Moroccan styles I'm currently loving (love me a nice fluffy rug). And because I think they are the ultimate way to ... Read More
Your Guide To Vegan Leather… That’s Actually Sustainable
Why is it that when a tall, dark, and handsome stranger is introduced in a romance novel they’re always described as smelling like leather? Sure, society’s taught us to associate the animal-byproduct with luxury and masculinity, but even if you know it's not all that, you might wonder if its alternatives are actually sustainable. Truth is that innovators in the industry have been working hard to come up with a handful of alternative sources for leather, and they're a lot better than they used ... Read More
