How I live sustainably & low-waste on a budget... and actually SAVE money doing it

Hello sweet soul! Today, as per your request, we're delving into how to live sustainably, minimally, and low-waste while on a budget. Despite the messages and "aesthetics" that can so often be promoted by social media and high-end brands, you don't have to break the bank in order to live a holistic, happy, sustainable lifestyle - in fact, you can start right here, right now, with exactly what you already own! Sustainability is not about being perfect, or purchasing high-end items, it's about making smart choices and small decisions every day that add up over time to benefit you, the planet, and humanity. In this video we're talking about ways to handle building a sustainable wardrobe, low waste grocery shopping, shopping for eco-friendly personal items, and more. I'm going to link as many resources as I can for you below - and please join the discussion down in the comments! I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!🙏🌻☀️
I wish you joy in your journey!
Kate
