#strandedonland

Getting ready to wrap the #Plasticswearjarchallenege + looking back on this week there have been more learnings that I thought would happen. All in all, we live pretty consciously day to day- carrying out own reusable water bottles, bags and cups 90% of the time. Thinking about if we NEED something versus if we just want it, and then if it’s functional for the long term. ⠀ ⠀ @gabaccia + I have had some major shifts to how we live + where we call home - G living in her truck + on the road, me balancing sharing space with roommates + traveling for clients. ⠀ ⠀ Although our lifestyles daily differ our commitment to trying to do better with every action remains the same. Since last Sunday we’ve been tracking our single use items + even living this way, I’ve still racked up an entire bag of plastic + other items that I’ll never be able to use again from wrappers to chip bags, boxes to useless packaging to “protect” new items + more.⠀ ⠀ Tomorrow we’ll share the final numbers + a few more thoughts on why we took the pledge this week + moving forward. ⠀ . photo: @the.tuna ⠀ #strandedswears #isweartobeaware #strandedonland (at Mount Woodson)

In the near future, living a conscious life will become easier + more accessible. Finding conscious makers, ethical brands, and companies will be more of the norm. This has already started. ⠀ ⠀ It's up to us, the seekers of a conscious life to make what we imagine a possibility. To continue to lead by example supporting ethical brands, eco-friendly packaged goods, and organic produce as much as we can. ⠀ ⠀ With every conscious product we buy, we create a higher demand for that type of good. Which ultimately makes these products more accessible to more people.⠀ ⠀ Isn't that simply beautiful? How far our little choices can go, how much difference they actually make?⠀ ⠀ Tag one of your favorite conscious brands in the comments below + tell us how they're helping make this dream a reality.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #strandedonland #togetherwearebetter ⠀ (at Point Reyes National Seashore)

As we count down the days to Earth Day this year, we've teamed up to support our seasisters from @changingtidesfoundation, on + offline. This week, we'll be curating conversation about adventuring responsibly + consuming consciously. Thoughts of our own + tips we've picked up along the way that have made #everydayisearthday a priority + implement small changes that make big impacts as often as we can. Sunday, April 22nd, we'll get together offline for an Encintas Highway 101/Beach Clean on Sunday with CTF + @blocsd. ⠀ ⠀ Truth is, there is no all or nothing. It may not be possible to shift everything you do everyday, but it is possible to make small efforts daily, and collectively, these add up. ⠀ ⠀ Follow along + join in the conversation #strandedonland #togetherwearebetter (at Encinitas, California)

Do you realize that we limit ourselves by underestimating our own power? There's a world of beautiful places, filled with beautiful things + it's in our power to protect them. Through small actions, every day. ⠀ ⠀ Why not start today?
