Hi! My name is Laura, and I believe that small, everyday actions can make a big difference. I created this blog as a way to stop making excuses and start making positive changes in the world. Join me, and together we can build a better planet.

Eating local, vegan, and gluten-free for lunch today. Gluten-free is unfortunately a requirement for me, but I enjoy eating local and vegetarian/vegan whenever possible to support local business and reduce my carbon footprint! . . . . #eatlocal #eatmoreveggies #gomeatless #flexitarian #consciouscarnivore #strongcommunities #community #localculture #buildingcommunities #consciousculture #bettertogether #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers

Since I’m still relatively new to town, I love exploring my surroundings. There’s a corner cafe I didn’t know was there, one of those micro libraries, and a cool mural on the side of a building hadn’t seen before. . Whether you’re new in town or a long-time resident, what have you discovered in your community lately? . . . . #eatlocal #shoplocal #shopsmall #strongcommunities #community #localculture #buildingcommunities #consciousculture #bettertogether #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers

I actually debated posting this quote because its author is not someone whose views I necessarily agree with, but on this point we do agree: voting is important, no matter who/what you are casting your ballot for. Plus, isn’t finding common ground also an important part of building a community? As human beings, we are more similar than we are different, and I think we could all benefit from reminding ourselves of that fact.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you voting today?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vote #electionday #rockthevote #strongertogether #inspirationalquotes #motivationalquotes #strongcommunities #buildingcommunities #consciousculture #bettertogether #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers

Over the weekend, I picked up some books on the subject of “community” from my local library (the ultimate community institution). I’m excited to dive into these! . . . . #community #strongcommunities #buildingcommunities #whatimreading #libraryhaul #strongertogether #discoverunder1k #sustainability #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers

A new month, a new theme... In November, I’m excited to focus my attention on the idea of community. In general, strong communities make the world a better place. I’ve moved around a lot over the last few years, and as a result, I haven’t done much to immerse myself in and/or support my local community. This is something I hope to do more of. Also, I’d love to build a stronger community of like-minded individuals online, particularly here on Instagram. I haven’t been as present on here lately, and in some ways, that’s a good thing, but I also miss the opportunity to connect with other people in other parts of the world. I’d love to know: what do you do to foster community in your own life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #community #strongcommunities #communitybuilding #fostercommunity #discoverunder1k #strongertogether #actlocalthinkglobal #consciousculture #sustainability #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical #sustainablecommunity

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I’m curious: do you decorate your home seasonally? Pumpkins and gourds are great for decorating because they are edible and compostable, but what about all those plastic cobwebs and skeletons? I love holidays, but they can create a lot of waste, so I try to hold myself back when it comes to decorations and costumes that will get very little practical use! . . . . #happyhalloween #zerowasteholidays #ethicalholidays #halloweendecor #simpleliving #minimalisthome #sustainablehome #consciousculture #sustainability #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers
