Eco-Conscious Living

Creating a more sustainable way to live one’s life is something we can do every day by taking small, incremental steps. From minimizing waste and repurposing all kinds of materials in the home, to being thoughtful about how and where to buy food, and what to eat, it helps our own personal sense of self-sustainability as well as reducing our impact on the environment.

Using textiles is part of a sustainable way of life. Shunning plastic and paper grocery store bags for cotton canvas totes, serving food with cotton and linen napkins and storing food in cloth bags, these are centuries old ideas and perhaps more valid today than ever before as we try to extricate ourselves from a reliance on single use plastic, containers and wrappers.

Gardening goes hand in hand with a sustainable way of life, whether that is growing a few herbs on a window ledge or balcony or creating a large herbaceous garden full of edibles.

Here you will find herb-focused recipes, textile products (all made in the USA) that you can use, and re-use, and ideas to increase sustainability.
