Eco living 101

Your guide to living a conscious life in touch with our earth.

If we are not honouring the earth; we are not honouring ourselves.

Do you keep hearing about all of these environmental issues but don't know what you can do to help? Perhaps you want to make changes in your daily life but it just feels really overwhelming to know what to do. The good news is that every single person can make a difference to protect our oceans, rainforests, sky and earth.

Hello, I am so glad that you are here.

There is a lot of talk right now about how our oceans are becoming choked with microplastics due to our reliance on single use plastics.


You might also have heard whispers about the impact that the palm oil industry is having on the critically endangered orangutans and the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.


The term 'zero waste' might have popped up on your radar and you may have seen people on social media who are able to function in our modern society while still living totally waste free lives? 


Perhaps you are concerned about the impacts that the fashion industry is having on the environment and the rights of the garment workers?




With so many threats to our environment, it can seem overwhelming to know how just one person can make an impact. 


But here's the thing.


We all have the ability to effect positive change in our everyday lives. 


It is actually really easy to be aware of the issues that are affecting our environment and to make small changes in your life that can have a big impact. 


And don’t worry. 


You don’t need to throw away your shoes and live off the grid in the jungle (although it does sound kind of nice right?)


Even if you live in the middle of a concrete jungle your daily actions are having more of an impact than you might think.

This course will guide you through the main environmental issues of our time and how you can make small changes in your everyday life to greater protect our earth.

Here's what you'll get:

  • In-depth information about the biggest environmental issues of our time.

    This course dives deep into the biggest issues facing the health of our earth and ourselves. The issues covered are single use plastics, palm oil, fast fashion, zero waste living, water scarcity, eco periods and a little bonus module on plant based living.

  • All of the facts and information.

    If you want to find in-depth information about the environmental threats facing our earth you could spend hours trawling the Internet. But that might not be the best use of your time. One of the reasons I created this course is to place all of the information that people need in one place. Included are all of the facts and figures you need to know about the issues covered in the course sprinkled with my own personal knowledge and experiences.

  • Easy changes that you can make in your life to protect our earth.

    I truly believe that every single person holds the power to create positive change for the planet. Once you have learnt all of the facts about the state of our earth it is time to take action. You will learn just how easy it is to make small lifestyle changes that lower the impact that you are having. If everyone takes little steps it will create greater change.
