The goal of this website is to share ideas that may help build greater ecological awareness and nature sustainability.
Small, everyday choices can add up, and being mindful of them can help to contribute to solutions rather than adding to ongoing problems.
Many people agree that it’s time to be more thoughtful about how our actions affect the natural world. For a long time, society operated on a “use it and throw it away” mindset. While that attitude hasn’t disappeared entirely, there has been a noticeable shift toward reconsidering how much we consume and discard.

But their environmental impact has led many governments to reconsider their use. Several states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, have enacted statewide restrictions or bans.

This site focuses on sharing information about sustainability and environmental protection through manageable, everyday actions. By increasing awareness, the hope is to encourage more people to think about how small changes can collectively make a difference.
