Average Sustainability

I looked at the different products, green habits and realized everything seemed overwhelming and expensive. I am not well-off financially and a zero-waste lifestyle seemed impossible, at first. I realized this was a problem as most people are in my position.

The first thing I looked at was financial cost. That is a major consideration when looking at products. Some items require a upfront cost, but them pay for themselves. Others, are choosing a Eco-friendly item that cost less, but require a larger time investment. That is what started the blog.

Purchasing items is not always feasible and is not apart of the sustainability idea. Use what you have first. I talk about sustainable actions such as gardening, repurposing items around the house and breaking the consumerism mindset.

While we encourage and strive for a zero waste lifestyle, understand no one will achieve this. It is an idealistic goal that is impossible. What is possible is major change coming from little changes by a lot of people. That is my goal, to inform the public and get everyone to make small sustainable change that will eventually have a big impact.
