Michelle’s favourite eco-blogs and sites

One of the things I love about blogging is the diversity of content from the blogging community. Since starting Boomer Eco Crusader almost four years ago, I have discovered so many talented writers and small business owners who are making a difference in their own unique way.

Here are eight of my favourite eco-blogs and sites that have inspired me.

A Sustainably Simple Life

A Sustainably Simple Life is written by Krista and Alison, two friends from British Columbia, Canada who blog about sustainability, gardening, DIY, and simple living. They are part of the Climate Change Collective—in fact, we can thank Alison for inspiring the name.

Jamie Ad Stories

Jamie and I started the Climate Change Collective after I left a comment on one of his blog posts last summer. He’s a teacher and writer who blogs about a variety of topics, including climate change. I especially enjoy how he uses poetry, fiction and non-fiction to share his message.

SWOP – Shop Without Plastic

The next site is a sustainable small business—something the world needs more of.

As a reader of my blog, you can get 15% off at SWOP – Shop Without Plastic when you use the code: BOOMER2023.

Lars, from Shop Without Plastic, reached out to me a few weeks ago about possible partnership opportunities. When I went to check out their site, I was so inspired by their story about how making one small swap at a time snowballed and they eventually started their own online store.

Lars has written a guest post for my blog on plastic-free innovations. Watch for it next week.
