Clarissa Explores Sustainable Life in the Finger Lakes.
Welcome! About this blog:
My goal is to share my experiences, discoveries and thoughts as I try to live in a low waste, sustainable way. I provide a variety of resources and tips specific to our area, based on what works for me. I believe that everyone needs to do their own research and make their own choices, but these are the things I wished I could find more easily when I started this quest. There are lots of amazing Zero Waste blogs around the world, check out the index for links!
