My concern for the environment and its inhabitants (feathered, furry, scaled, human, etc.) has never been greater, and I have been feeling lost. I sign petitions. I request donations to environmentally-geared organizations in lieu of gifts. I recycle. But the attacks on our environment continue at what seem like unprecedented rates, and I have been feeling a need to fix something over which I have slightly more control.

My husband and I got married in 2017. As we re-assessed our daily purchases and merged our households, I saw the perfect opportunity to really figure out how we could do better (i.e. reduce our impact on the planet and support companies with similar values). Up until this point, I really just trusted the labels when trying to buy earth-friendly, human-friendly, creature-friendly products.

I never intended to start a blog, but as my notebook turned into a jumble of thoughts, and my ramblings to my mother intensified, I realized I needed to write this stuff down so that I could make sense of it all.

This isn’t meant to push a certain lifestyle or product. It’s really just to share my synopsis and interpretation of the research/product testing, in the hope that it provides a little less work for someone else down the road (hi mom!).
