Sustainable Living and Your Impact on the Planet
Welcome to Eco Friendly Living and Gardening! Join me on my journey of learning about sustainable living, simplifying the life and reducing our environmental impact in the home, at work and during leisure activities.
Change Your Life and Reconnect with Nature
With all of the technological advances our society has made, we often forget that we are part of nature. We became so disconnected from our origins and our place in the ecosystem that instead living in harmony with the environment we are destroying it and by doing that , we are also destroying ourselves.
Grow your own food in your backyard or on your deck. Get some tips on sustainable living on our Eco Garden page.
Make conscious effort every day to slow down a reconnect with the nature. The pay-off for it is amazing! 
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rethink!
You can minimize your impact on the environment by becoming more eco-conscious. Simplify your life by only purchasing things that are necessary, not excess items that drain your budget and clutter your life. Having many things around you clutters your home and also your mind. And, it is not environmentally friendly. Why not to reuse items or Freecycle them. We should not be using disposable items instead of reusable ones. Some broken things can be fixed instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.
Sustainable Living Tips
In today's world, peoples' lives are hectic and complicated and they've forgotten how to enjoy simple pleasures of life. I would like to help you learn how to slow down and enjoy every moment. It's still possible to appreciate the small things like the feeling of the earth and the sun and rain while you are working in your garden. People driving cars will drive through their life.
