On the surface, it can be incredibly daunting to reduce your environmental footprint, especially when you see that others around you are not doing their part. But when you break it down into small steps, you realize you have more power than you thought. Fortunately, there’s a growing community of people who are willing to take the next step in living more sustainably. If you’re reading this, then you are a part of that movement.
