The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step? Or, in this case, with a single Instagram post. After stumbling across an image depicting the horrific impact on an innocent sea turtle of humanity’s dependence on plastic in a throwaway culture, Carly Tizzano sets out on a year-long journey to understand the true cost of modern living on the environment. In the process, she discovers that her lifestyle and personal choices impact far more than just sea life. Her investigation makes her even more determined to redefine her values, personal habits, and her overall relationship with the planet. In this honest treatise of the power and pitfalls of her year-long pursuit of sustainable living, Carly details the latest research and statistics, and shares the tools, tactics, and methods she employed in her attempt to protect the environment and live out her personal values. Come along with her on this journey as she experiments with new products and re-discovers old ones, establishes new habits, redirects her mindset, and discovers that while sustainability may look different for each of us, it’s a goal and a direction that all of us can move towards.
