All my stories about the happiness of our planet and what we can do to keep it cool aka living a sustainable life. Less is more when it comes to consumerism on all levels. You can find all my stories under the LISTS tab at the top of this page. All stories are grouped by topic.

Food Waste

What we can do to avoid so much of it

We’re on Fire

We’ll burn if we don’t do something today. Not tomorrow.

Nobody Cares and Nobody Wants to Know

Do they even want us to know? I think not.

Making the Case for Soap

Yes. Really.

What’s Your Bullshit Lame Excuse?

End the apathy now. End the complacency now. End the “let somebody else do it” now.

The Difference Between Optimism and Being a Moron

Optimists believe in the yes, we can make a difference. Morons don’t believe in anything but their backyards and the bargain bin.

Public Transport versus Private Car

My Saturday Morning Glory Story About Encounters of the Car Kind versus the zen and freedom of taking public transport.

Banana vs. Bottle

What’s better? A smoothie or a piece of fruit? A head-to-head

Fast Fashion and the Real Cost

We’re all enablers in the destruction and exploitation of the planet and people. The True Cost is essential viewing (and should be for kids from the age of 12 to young adults and grown adults too, for that matter) — a documentary that pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks us to consider, who really pays the price for our clothing? I can tell you — we do of course.

How Can I help? The Problem with Plastics

It’s only one plastic bottle I’m buying say 5 billion people. That’s the problem.

The Hypocrisy of Crazy Rich People

You’re rich because I’m poor.

90 Days to Change a Habit from Bad to Good

Diets are ephemeral, short-term, and just a drag. A 90-day switchover to a dose of new habits that become routine.

Hello Upcyclers

A Life Less Wasteful and Two Wonderfully Creative Upcyclers

How Bad Is Sugar Really?

It’s a tough world out there so I’m sorry to confirm: sugar is bad. But the situation is not hopeless.

Let’s Talk About Sweat

I haven’t used deodorant for years. Here’s why.

What You Need for a Perfect Bikini Body

Hint: Nothing. Love the one you’re with. Yourself. That’s perfect.

How to Choose the Best Vegan Milk

Consider the environmental impact of each of the choices. Not only the taste.

What’s With All The Trash Everywhere?

Just because we’ve been in a pandemic, doesn’t mean you can toss your trash anywhere. Stop being a slob.

The World is Ours to Save. We’re Stupid if We Can’t Manage It.

A Reminder of little things the laziest of us can do to save our planet. My Top Five Posts on #lessismore and #sustainability

It’s Only One Cup — Said a Billion People

Get yourself a reusable coffee cup FFS.

A Life Less Wasteful.

Enough with the bottled water already.

Getting Past Imperfect. It Doesn’t always have to be New.

Be a cheapskate: I dare you. Upcycle, restyle, mend.

A Life Less Wasteful

Hello Lazy people: you can be sustainable too.
