Welcome to One Girl, Our World!


Welcome to One Girl, Our World! This blog is about making the right decision concerning the environmental impact we as humans are making on our planet. I will discuss short sustainable phases of change for years to come that will include reducing consumption of energy, natural resources, and most of all demonstrate a lifestyle that seeks to achieve a zero net impact on Earth.

To make sustainable changes in your life, one must first understand the impacts they have on our planet. They need to know how much food it takes to keep yourself alive, how much waste you create, and finally determine your carbon footprint. Also, what will take to keep our planet alive for all species and generations to come?

This blog is designed to be used as a tool, discussions, and as a resource for removing all the comfortable lifestyle items we have today and to teach us new ways of living outside of our comfort zone. Physical things such as removing the idea of an automobile to reduce our carbon footprint and replace this idea with riding a bicycle, or buying your food from a places that supports the local farmers and increases the local economy. Stop the fast pace ideas that Western Society makes us think we must live, how we should only have the bigger and best items, but rather how we morally need to change to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
