Story Behind Eco Mini Guides
For a long time, we didn’t give much thought to how our everyday choices were impacting the environment. We used plastic bags without thinking, bought products wrapped in layers of packaging, and threw things away without a second glance. It was convenient, and honestly, we just assumed one person’s actions didn’t make much of a difference.
But over time, we started feeling uneasy — the constant waste, the news about climate change, the plastic-filled oceans. We realized we were living disconnected from the natural world. It wasn’t just about the environment out there; it was also about how we were living in our own space and body.
When we began shifting toward eco-conscious habits — using reusable items, reducing plastic, buying locally, and being more mindful — everything changed. We felt more in control, more purposeful, and deeply aligned with values that mattered. We consumed less, appreciated more, and created a healthier rhythm in daily life.
That’s why we created this Mini Eco Guide — to help others take small steps that make a big impact. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being aware, and choosing better whenever we can.
