As someone with a certificate in Natural Resource Aid, and a current student working toward a bachelor's degree in Environmental Resource Management I have dived deep into the world of sustainability over the last five years. During that time, I faced unrealistic expectations set by others as well as myself, resulting in guilt. 

It's important to work towards a more sustainable lifestyle and deeper understanding of nature.

It's more important to prioritize what you are capable of doing  financially, mentally, and impactfully.

Every small step toward sustainability counts
