Taking action around the climate and environment may seem daunting as a busy mom, however they discuss how the choices you make around what you buy (or don’t buy) can make a huge difference without a lot of extra work.

She is a former teacher and the founder of the Sustainable in the Suburbs blog, focusing on living low-waste in a culture of convenience and making sustainable parenting both accessible and affordable.
