My Sustainable Living Goals

Hi! I'm Jessica and I'm so glad you are here.

This blog has been a long time coming. Over the past few years I have been making changes and embracing a more sustainable lifestyle. For me, this means being more intune with nature and the seasons, reducing the waste I create and making choices that I feel are kinder to the planet and better for me and my family.

Picture-perfect sustainability isn't the goal but it's nice to imagine my bathroom might one day look like this....

There's a lot of apathy about sustainable living right now but I don't believe for a second that we have lost the ability to care about the planet. Unfortunately, the narrative around sustainability projects or investments seems to be about either making us feel guilty or making us fork out more money in taxes or on items that promise to be compostible and toxin free - or whatever. What we aren't always told is how these changes can benefit us as individuals, both in the long and short term. It's no wonder, with all the other issues going on in the world, the thought of having to spend more money with no seemingly obvious benefits makes us feel like giving up on the whole idea.

I believe that we can all be more sustainable in our everyday lives. That we can all make small changes that will add up and that we are comfortable with. Sustainable living is accessible for all of us in our own way and it doesn't have to be perfect and we don't have to feel guilty about it.

My goals

I created this blog because I have my own sustainable living goals. These are:

• To be more plastic-free

• To make more of my own toxic-free cleaning products

• To learn about soap-making and create my own plastic-free, homemade products

• To inspire others in my community to do the same

What you can expect from The Green Kind Blog

Here I'll be sharing all of the tips and ideas that I have learned in my journey to be more sustainable. It's not about being perfect but it is about making small changes that fit into our individual lives that feel good, support our wellbeing and make a difference. I want to use this platform to connect with others in my community and online to spread the word and dive into projects that are for the people, by the people. (I have big plans for this goal!)
