Teal Hand 8/25/2016 11:13 AMI live my life as sustainable as I can, while enjoying every day as much as possible. I am a master when it comes to recycling and composting, I always bring re-usable bags to the grocery store, I consider the sociological, ethical, and environmental aspects of EVERY purchase I make, whether it's the brands or individual products that I buy (ALWAYS choose local!). I bike whenever possible and always push others to as well (for all the positive reasons). I volunteer in my community and plant trees when I can. Thanks for visiting my profile, hope you can make even more of an impact that I can!
