As the world developed and advanced over the years, so did our lives. Things got easy, faster, with 2-minute meals and online-shopping culture. Due to this, our purchases have been based more on our wants, than our needs. Our lifestyles, a bit more irresponsible. The effects of this fast-paced lifestyle have taken its toll on our health and environment. Now, we are encouraged to slow down, breathe, and make time for self-care in our lives. 

​

Now we are encouraged to live simply.

This journey to low-waste living is my contribution to living better and more responsibly. It is a personalized adaptation of zero-waste acts and mindful living. The consumerist lifestyle is now famously known to lead to unfulfillment, but many of us can advocate just how difficult it is to go from zero to zero-waste. Low-waste living is not saying NO to buying the things you want but encourages you to be thoughtful and mindful of the things you consume. It can take many forms and be applied in different ways because it caters to you and your needs.

It is from this perspective that Sustainable TT was born. Sustainable TT is an online editorial platform that showcases and highlights local eco-based and sustainable initiatives in Trinidad and Tobago. It will tell the stories of the many I've encountered on this journey, along with my own. 

 

I hope you enjoy this Caribbean perspective.
