helping you make better choices for the planet
I'VE ALWAYS HAD THIS UNSHAKABLE ITCH TO LEAVE THE PLANET BETTER THAN HOW I FOUND IT
BUT I WASN'T SURE IF MY ACTIONS WOULD EVER MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Hi! I'm Shannon
I help eco-conscious people like you make better choices for the environment so you can live the life you want without sacrificing your time or the planet.
Ever feel like no matter what you do, you’re not doing enough for the environment?
That’s exactly how I felt.
In fact, not too long ago, I was standing in my kitchen with a piece of plastic packaging in my hand, staring intensely at my recycling bin. Was it recyclable? How would I know if I put it in the right bin or not? And even if I did put it in the right bin, would it actually get recycled? I was so confused. And frustrated.
This scenario played out in all parts of my life … in the bathroom, at work and at the grocery. I felt like everything I bought either had toxic chemicals in it; came with insane amounts of packaging; or burned way too many fossil fuels just in the process of getting to me.
I knew that the amount of trash I created was a problem and my carbon footprint was much bigger than it should be. But I didn’t know what to do about it.
That moment, along with so many others, made me feel helpless about the environment, and made me wonder if I stood any chance at saving it. I wanted to avoid the incredibly terrifying, environmental apocalypse I’d envisioned in my head. But the daily guessing game of figuring out what products and ingredients to avoid, and how to properly dispose of them was exhausting.
I’d spend hours and hours scrolling through the internet trying to find sustainable products and tips that could help me lower my footprint. And that’s when it hit me. People need this! Not the hours wasted online, but the information. And they need a quick and easy way to get it from someone they trust.
One source where you can find information on how to recycle properly, how to avoid excess packaging and waste, and how to find eco-friendly alternatives to the products you use. One website that can give honest, legit guidance on what actions you can take based on what’s available to you. And one place that can make sure your personal values are aligned with the way you shop.
And so Mama Eco was born.
A website that helps you put the second-guessing, the eco-guilt and the overwhelming confusion to bed.
With my resources, you’ll make better decisions for the environment without needing 35 hours in the day to get it all done. My curated products, daily instagram tips, and weekly blog posts will instantly kickstart your sustainable life into gear.
So tell me … are you ready to see what effortless eco-friendly living looks like, to say goodbye to endless researching on the internet, and to finally feel like what you’re doing for the planet is enough?
YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE IMPACT, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THEY MAY FEEL.
And the daily choices you make, collectively with others, can change the world, prevent plastic from getting into our oceans, and stop climate change in its tracks. So whadd’ya say … you with me?

![When I first made the decision to cut dairy and gluten from my diet (because it was causing some health issues), I thought that meant I’d have to give up some of the things I most enjoyed eating. That I’d somehow have to live in deprivation.
_
At the time, I thought it would be impossible. I mean...everything has gluten and dairy in it!?! And I thought that something like this...a lemon meringue pie, which was my favorite dessert as a kid, just seemed like it would be off the table. But here lies a vegan and gluten free lemon meringue pie that Wilson and I made this weekend.

You see, choosing to live a certain way, whether that means changing your diet, or living minimally, or trying to be mindful of your environmental footprint in all aspects of your life, can seem like you have to give up a lot. But you can actually have your cake (or pie) and eat it too.
_
You don’t have to live a life full of deprivation. It's so much more about making intentional decisions about the things you choose to have in your life, instead of just thinking about what you can’t have. It’s about consuming intentionally, rather than blindly.
_
I often think about this when it comes to living sustainably. At first glance, it can seem like a life of “can’t haves” and sacrifices, but in a way, it’s a life that allows you to really appreciate the things that you choose to have in your life. Making each decision intentional.

What kind of ways do you choose to live your life that may seem unconventional? Was it hard at first? Did some people give you the look ro ask why the heck you would even do that?

[PS: I do cheat on my GF and dairy-free diet sometimes...after all, I’m only human. And I’m ok with that]](https://mamaeco.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
