"Success doesn't always come from the big actions that we take, but from the sum of the small actions that we take repeated over time."

So simple, yet not always easy!

The fast fashion industry operates on a “race to the bottom” model to produce the greatest number of garments at the lowest price. With cheap production, lowered costs and societal pressure to constantly consume clothing, fashion’s numbers are staggering: 100 billion garments made annually, 87% ending in landfills or incinerators and only 1% recycled. Toxic textile processing pollutes freshwater systems harming connected ecosystems, and each year 200 million trees are razed for cellulosic fibers imperiling biodiversity. 69% of clothes are made from crude oil and washing them accounts for 35% of the ocean's microplastics. Microfibers are in the food chain, our air, our soil and appear deep in our organs and our bloodstreams threatening our existence.

Bisphenol A also known as BPA,[1] used to make billions of plastic beverage containers, dinnerware, protective linings of food cans and toys, is considered an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can both decrease or increase endocrine activity in humans and cause adverse health effects.

Simple steps can become habits 🌳

Boggles the mind. EVERY day is Earth Day, when we think of it this way :)

I keep a pitcher by the sink to pour unused water so it can be used to rinse a bowl or water a plant!

My journey of (creating and keeping) healthy boundaries is a long one. How about you?
