Top Sustainability Resources for Expanding Your Knowledge

Through the years and along my journey into low-impact living I’ve consumed quite a bit of knowledge about eco-friendly and intentional living through books, films, studies, talks and other creators and I wanted to share the best of them with you in a comprehensive list so that you can nourish your ecological life and live more sustainably with a bit more ease. The list is short because I wanted to make it less overwhelming and more palatable because I understand that it’s not everyone’s full-time job to learn about our collective environmental impact but it does concern us all and I firmly believe it is our duty to self-educate and take action where we can.

Here are my most helpful, educational, inspiration resources for sustainable living:
