Estimated Read Time: 6 minutes
We all need a little motivation and inspiration all the time every now and then.
Navigating the world of zero waste and sustainability can be really tricky. Between there not being a universal definition on what sustainability actually means (!!) and greenwashing, who has time to do the research?!
How many times have you heard someone say or thought to yourself, man, I know ‘X’ is really bad for the planet but I don’t know how to look for eco-friendly alternatives nor do I have time to. And when it comes time to replace it or buy another, it’s so easy to go with what you know and what you’ve always done.
Social media was designed for fun, to share things about your life; but it’s grown into so much more than that. It’s a platform that allows people to connect with others who share the same beliefs, goals, values, opinions. It allows people to come together and do good things like support a community, help someone during a time of need, and it’s an amazing place to learn.
In 2021 anything you want to learn you can learn on the internet. Add some people who can bring a new perspective to your scrolling and learn a few new things.
