I’ve always had an unshakable itch to leave the planet better than how I found it.

 

And with climate change knocking at our door and plastic waste swallowing our oceans, we need to acknowledge that we’re part of the problem. But in doing so, we can also choose to be part of the solution.

Lemme guess: you wanna do right by the environment, but just don’t know where to start. I’ve been there, and that’s why I created Mama Eco: to empower you to make conscious decisions and to help you see that your actions have impact, no matter how small they may feel.

My curated products, daily insta tips, and weekly blog posts can instantly kickstart your sustainable life. So whadd’ya say? You in?

Just enter your email here to take the first step towards your sustainable future. I promise I’ll be with you every step of the way.

 

See you soon!

  • This strange-looking, yet magical ball is BY FAR my favorite eco-swap of all time. _ It’s the SmartKlean laundry ball, and it’s got lots of sciencey things goin’ on inside that clean your clothes just as good as any detergent, except it does it with ZERO chemicals! Here’s why that’s important: did you know that laundry detergent is one of the most toxic things in your home? I don’t know about you, but the less exposure I have to chemicals the better. I wanna avoid that shit at all costs! _ Each laundry ball lasts for 365 loads, and since the average bottle of detergent has 32 loads in it, this one ball replaces at least 11 bottles of detergent. This not only saves you a ton of cash monayyy, but think about all those plastic detergent bottles that wont end up in the landfill from doing your laundry. _ Now I know you probably have a million questions about how this actually works. So lay them on me!!! So we can clean up that laundry routine of yours. _ And if you’re ready to make the switch, you can get $5 buckeroos off your laundry ball by entering code: MAMAECO at checkout. Click the link in my bio to shop now and get those nasty chemicals out of your laundry! _ _ _ #ad @smartklean_laundry #askmamaeco #nontoxic #sustainableliving #chemicalfree #reducereuserecycle #bpafree #consciousconsumer #ecoliving #goinggreen #zerowastehome #zerowastelifestyle #ecoconscious #sustainablelifestyle #reusable #ecofriendlyproducts #chemicalfreeliving #ethicalbrand #lowimpact #sustainablysourced #sustainablymade #goingzerowaste #zerowasteliving #ecoblogger #carbonfootprint #greencleaning #buylesschoosewell #sustainablebrand #lowwaste #laundryhack
  • Ever wonder if that face cream or sunscreen that you’re using is actually safe? Or wonder if it has any toxic things hiding under that ingredient list that’s too difficult to pronounce? … thought so _ The Environmental Working Group has a free app that you can download that allows you to plug in the name (or scan the barcode) of a product to see how it rates in terms of toxicity, cancer warnings, allergens, nutrition concerns, etc. _ You can use it for foods or things that you put in or on your body, like makeup or lotions. I think ideally, you want a score of 3 or lower for any product that you buy. Anything above that may not be the best choice for you and your body (and your future self who wants to stay healthy and live long). _ The name of the app is the ‘EWG Healthy Living’ app. It doesn’t have every single product ever invented on there, but it had a good selection to guide you. _ _ _ #notsponsored #askmamaeco #nontoxic #sustainableliving #chemicalfree #nontoxicbeauty #organiclife #naturalhealth #consciousconsumer #ecoliving #ecoconscious #sustainablelifestyle #ecofriendlyproducts #environmentallyfriendly #allnaturalproducts #nontoxicskincare #chemicalfreeliving #sustainablysourced #sustainablymade #ecoblogger #nontoxicliving #sustainablelife #nontoxiclife #sustainableshopping #companiesthatcare #companiesthatactuallygiveashit #healthapp #healthyfood #healthylivingtips
  • I recently found out about the Buy Nothing Project. Have you heard about it? Its a free facebook group that you can join based on your location, where you post items that you no longer want/need with the intention of giving them away. _ Can’t sell your couch on craigslist? Don’t have any friends interested in your old bicycle? Have a sleeping bag that you’re never gonna use again? You can post anything like this in the group to see if there’s anyone in your neighborhood who wants it and can put it to good use. So instead of ending up in your trash bin, it ends up in a good home. _ On the flipside, if you’re in need of something, you can also post in the group to see if anyone has what you’re looking for. This way, you avoid buying something new and take it off the hands of your neighbor who doesn’t need it anymore. _ The idea is to create a community where we buy less, and borrow/give more, reducing the amount of things we buy. I can’t wait to get started as I’ve been doing a bit of organizing in my apartment and am trying to be more minimal with the ‘stuff’ we have. _ You can join by searching on facebook for ‘buy nothing’ along with the name of your city/neighborhood. Odds are, there’s probably already a group in your area, but if not, you can also start you own 😊 _ _ _ #notsponsored #askmamaeco #sustainableliving #zerowaste #reducereuserecycle #minimalista #consciousconsumer #ecoliving #nowaste #wastefree #zerowastehome #zerowastelifestyle #ecoconscious #sustainablelifestyle #usewhatyouhave #circulareconomy #lowimpact #sustainablysourced #goingzerowaste #notrash #zerowasteliving #reducewaste #waronwaste #ecoblogger #sustainablelife #carbonfootprint #sustainableshopping #buylesschoosewell #buyused #lowwaste
  • I’m not all that big on jewelry. I have just a few low-key pieces that I wear all the time. So when we got engaged a few years ago, my partner Wilson knew he had to keep things simple. _ What I didn’t expect though was that he would take the time to research locally made rings that were ethically and sustainably made. I was taken aback when he told me about the ring and the fact that the metal was recycled and that the stone was actually made in a lab, using 30% less energy than traditional diamond mining. This also meant that it was a conflict-free stone since it wasn’t mined in conjunction with any sort of unethical practices. _ Without me telling him, he knew that if I was going to wear something everyday for the rest of my life, it had to align with my values. And I’m so grateful for his effort and respect of that. _ _ _ #notsponsored #askmamaeco #handmadeisbetter #handmadeshop #activism #minimalista #simpleliving #consciousconsumer #environmentallyfriendly #ecoluxury #earthfriendly #ecoliving #goinggreen #ecoconscious #sustainablelifestyle #ecofriendlyproducts #ethicalbrand #circulareconomy #lowimpact #sustainablysourced #sustainablymade #ecoblogger #carbonfootprint #sustainableshopping #minimalists #conflictfreediamonds #sustainablejewelry #ecojewelry #engagementrings #sustainablebrand
