Happy National Sustainability Day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IDK if it’s really a day, but 💯 on board to celebrate! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the state of the world, it’s pretty clear we need to be more responsible to our Earth and health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Proper forest maintenance, responsible choices, less waste, more clean energy innovation. Not to mention, safer chemicals use for our bodies and our environment! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year I added to my sustainability plan: renting clothes instead of buying, shopping local for all our of household needs that I could, more composting and lots more plants 🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What strides have you made? Where are you looking to keep growing? I LOVE helping to find solutions 💚 📷

The snow is such a blessing right now. Quieting the unrelenting fires in our beautiful state. It’s all been incredibly heavy for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mostly because I know that I’m part of the problem. We’re all part of the problem. I may be over generalizing, but I imagine that we all have situations where we think “oh it’s just me, just one time.” Be it a ton of bags at the store or buying a Costco 2 gallon container of chemicals we wouldn’t normally use, we all (likely) do it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The fires are all (again likely) caused by humans that probably thought “oh it’s me, it’s fine.” But every fire, every gun shoot, every mismanaged situation, it’s causing catastrophic damage. In fact, CU has determined that 97% of wildfires that cause property damage are caused by humans. 9-7!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a progress not perfection gal, so I guess that’s what makes this all heavy. I don’t expect anyone to do it all. I do hope that we can all fully think through our actions. Seek ways to do better and off set our not perfect lifestyle choices because if we don’t, this s**t will keep happening.

I’ve been sitting on this perspective for days, afraid to speak out. The second Amazon dropped Prime Day emails in my “inbox” though the thoughts grew bigger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In order to create a diverse and sustainable marketplace in America, I’m asking you to look at your big box consumption. How you shop is a direct vote for how you want our economy to operate and I’ll unapologetically share my thoughts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Things to consider:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Free Shipping probably isn’t really free shipping. You pay membership fees, products are marked up, or a business is taking a substantial loss costing some or even their entire profit to “ship free”. It’s not free ppl. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Return culture has made the carbon footprint of direct shipping higher than retail shopping. It used to actually be better for the environment (once upon a time) to have things shipped to you. That’s simply not the case anymore with our return culture and 3rd party vending in 55 boxes per order. **55 is dramatic, noted**⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Small business employs your local community. The teens, the moms, the grandpas... you get my drift. When you choose “click” somewhere for faster or cheaper you’re reducing your local jobs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Many of your small businesses are providing you with content and experiences. Don’t stalk, shop. There will be no content if there is no business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love watching the moments of innocence and laughter between these two. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an adult I feel the tension, the increasing concerns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I see the Earth responding to the natural and unnatural damage being caused.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know that products are unregulated for safety, marketed to mislead you and targeted to attract you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These littles every once in a while show glimpses of their knowing. They say profound things, plan our farm and sustainable home with me, call a product "toxic garbage". They are also incredibly innocent.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm fighting for them. I'm striving to be a leader to show the world everyone can make small changes and some of us even BIGGER changes. I'm giving my all to support anyone on their journey because these wise babies deserve it.

I've had this conversation more than once this week, preserving our Earth should not be a partisan issue. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The blame game has to stop. We all live on this Earth, not one party or set of beliefs is to blame for where we're headed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is no Planet B-- Mars is not an option for all of humanity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Elections are coming, ballot initiatives are out there. Let's stop pointing fingers and find ways to meet across the aisles for change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out the United States Climate Alliance- is your Governor a part of it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have local initiatives you should read up on? Louisville has a bag tax on the ballot- read it friends! Pose questions, provide feedback, VOTE this is democracy and we ALL play a part in what goes down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Point to resources and not people or parties. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I believe that there are moments in time that define us. They change the world and how we see it. Nineteen years ago the world changed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will never forget those lost, those who sacrificed, those who continue to put everyone else before themselves to protect us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We FALL in Love with Fall. What about you? - https://mailchi.mp/theconsciousmerchant/september-2020

Fall is our transitional time here at TCM and we wanted to take the time to share some ways to easily transition to less waste through innovation.

Check out our monthly newsletter and stay tuned for more. We have SO much we want to cover :-)

We've entered my favorite month of the year because it's my birthday (duh) and the month that I always feel the transitions of the year. Maybe it's the leaves changing- IDK. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I do know is that it's been one hell of a year and I'm ready for some beautiful transitions. I also know that September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month and honors Su***de Prevention Week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, I wanted to say, "Hi. I see you. I hear you. I feel you." If you don't love this season like me, that's okay! I'll be here for what you need.

The sunset in this valley is inspiring, humbling and simply breathtaking. (Although taking a deep breath outside is rough right now). Our state is burning, California, is burning. Heck- not too far from this spot there was a fire a few weeks back.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that trees are becoming less able to grow back after wildfires due to climate change?!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We each need to do our part to keep this beautiful scenery. “It won’t happen to me” isn’t a thing y’all. No camp fires, no trash burning, keep your tires in good shape, keep your butts in the car y’all! Or just stop smoking 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
End rant. Enjoy the weekend of cooler weather and all the beauty around us. 🍁

I was being interviewed today about “my why”. This quote basically embodies my 15 minute soapbox in a sentence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you care about your health, then you need to care about Earth. If you care about Earth then you better care about your health. The two are not mutually exclusive of one another. A healthy future requires both to be considered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Need ideas on where to start? Want it to be manageable and realistic? I got you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just a little casual reading! ⁣
⁣
Do you read up on your 💧 quality? You should. ⁣
⁣
Denver was cited for elevated levels of lead back in 2012- they are just now performing corrective action steps for the community. Water filters to homes and 15 years to replace the lines! ⁣

May 2020 - I was defeated. Absolutely overwhelmed by what was happening to my dreams. The sleepless nights, the tears, more tears, less sleep --- you get the drift. I knew that I needed to keep going. I put a lot of faith, hard work and more faith into what I truly believe in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TODAY- my "baby" was listed HERE with these incredible brands. Today I officially have TWO Pop Up to permanent store fronts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I continued to follow my gut and my passion to make safer + more sustainable living approachable and realistic for all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've got a long way to go and many more challenges ahead, but I'm going to celebrate today. Thank you to every supporter, believer, and champion- WE are moving the dial together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
**Extra thanks to every friend who has shown grace in my crappy contact the past 4 months. Love you all so very much.**
