Welcome to my site!

I am excited to share with you my journey to reduce my plastic usage and inspire others to do the same. Plastic is everywhere and it is hard to avoid it. Through my journey, there has been some points of frustration and disappointment along the way. That said, I want to make sure people know that as they begin on this journey, this is normal! I have learned that it is important to focus on progress and not perfection whenever possible. Along my journey I tackle my plastic reduction usage in 3s. This means I identify 3 items to work on. Once I tackle those 3, I move on to the next 3. My goal is to inspire 12 people to use less plastic, who inspire 12 more people and so on. Together we can be part of the solution!

I would love to hear from you as well. Please share with me if I have inspired you and what are you doing to reduce your plastic usage.
