Welcome to My Wildly Imperfect Sustainability Blog

Hi there! I'm Evelyn — and if we haven’t met before, you should know this upfront: I’m a little all over the place. I suspect I have ADHD (still waiting on an official diagnosis), I’m deep in the rollercoaster of perimenopause, and anxiety is my ever-present sidekick. So, if you’re looking for a perfectly organized blog with a clear, linear narrative... you may want to adjust your expectations. This is going to be a bit of a ride.

The heart of this blog is simple: I want to encourage families to live more sustainably — starting with mine. Full disclosure: my family isn’t exactly excited about this journey. They’re more like... reluctant passengers. But I’m hopeful that with time, these eco-habits will catch on. I’ll be sharing what we try, what flops, and what (hopefully) sticks. Honestly, if I’d started this when my kids were younger, it might’ve gone smoother. But here we are, with teens who are very much set in their ways. Still, once I get an idea in my head, there’s no stopping me — and I’m bringing everyone along for the ride.

Oh, and one more thing: I’m lazy. Like, deeply lazy. My spirit animal is a sloth, and I wear that with pride. I like things simple, quick, and low-effort — because after a long day at work (which involves a lot of calls, emails, meetings, and brainpower I don’t always feel like I have), I come home, put on my comfiest pajamas, whip up an easy dinner, and collapse into my recliner for the night.

So if you're looking for real-life sustainability tips from someone juggling work, teens, exhaustion, and a desire to just do nothing... you're in the right place.

Breaking Up with Paper Towels (Kind Of)

  Let me confess something: I used to have a serious paper towel habit. I’m talking at least four rolls a week —more if something got spill...
