For nearly a decade, I’ve been writing about how we can live more sustainable lives, especially with kids. Through increasingly divisive battles about the “right” ways to move forward, we always come back to strong and resilient communities propelled by conversation, collective action, grace, and cooperation.

As the world ebbs and flows, shifts and grows, so must our focus. In that light, I’d love for you to join a thoughtful conversation on building community through connection and civic engagement as sage neighbors. The archives of sustainable living tips and ideas survive on the blog, but the heart of my current work is at Sage Neighbor, a newsletter about creating resilience and respite in working together for something better. I hope to see you there!

Taking climate action with kids

All those years of writing about climate action and sustainable living live on. While I’m most active in the newsletter, the Honestly Modern archives are full of ideas on choosing more climate-friendly lifestyle habits for you and your family.
