How do you talk to kids about sustainability? I was asked this question in a recent interview.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The truth is, I think today’s kids could probably teach us adults a thing or two. So I’m not sure who should be doing the talking, but I do know this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take it one step at a time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your family isn’t composting or recycling or eating less meat or limiting single-use plastic or shopping at thrift stores, then just start with one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t try to change *all* the things at once when that would be too much of an undertaking for one person — let alone an entire family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it’s “meatless Monday’s” or taking outgrown clothing directly to a textile recycler or pledging not to buy anymore plastic water bottles, that one choice for action will snowball into other areas of your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sustainable fashion was what started it for me, but it could be something totally different for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s a saying that goes something like this: We don’t need one person doing sustainability perfectly. We need a lot of people doing it imperfectly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As a small business owner, do you ever feel paralyzed by branding and aesthetic and what your Instagram feed is *supposed* to look like?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been so wrapped up in it that I spent over $7500 on photo shoots last year to make sure I had “IG worthy” photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in full transparency, I didn’t see a return on that investment in revenue. (That’s a reflection of IG’s algorithm — not the photography.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So while I’ve been quiet on Instagram for several months, working on other projects (a blog redesign, YouTube channel and mentoring my Factory45’ers), I’ve also been quiet because I haven’t felt like anything was “good enough” to post.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I’ll be the first to say, that’s just crazy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perfect is boring, pretty is overrated and yes, progress always takes the cake.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, here’s an old photo of me walking the streets of Croatia last summer, wearing a thrifted romper, my trusty sun hat and a four-year-old pair of @nisoloshoes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s the best I got right now and it’s good enough. ❤️
