Two years ago this week, I published the first lead post in the Climate Change Collective series. Since then, our dedicated group of eco-bloggers has worked hard to spread our message of sustainability. To celebrate the collective’s 2nd anniversary, today’s post is a look back at the content we’ve shared in the first two years, and a look ahead to what’s next for this terrific collaboration.
Clutter Tales – The podcast edition
I recently had the opportunity to record an episode of the Sharing the Heart of the Matter with the wonderul Wynne Leon and Vicki Atkinson. In the episode, I shared some of the fun stories from my Clutter Tales series.
Throwback Thursday – Help the Earth with second-hand shopping
If the most eco-friendly product is the one we don’t buy, giving new life to products someone no longer needs through second-hand shopping is a close runner-up.
July 2024 roundup – Great reads and goals update
Summer is rolling along, and I can’t believe I’m writing my July 2024 roundup already. In addition to my goals update, this month’s roundup has insightful posts on savouring every moment, life lessons from the Sunday funnies, and the new deinfluencing trend.

Decluttering challenge – Week 31 – Desk drawers & office supplies
For many people, the shift to full-time home working in 2020 introduced big changes to their household. As a hybrid worker before we even gave that a name, I was fortunate to have a well-established home office space. For me, the disruption was minimal. Even so, home office decluttering and organizing is never a bad idea. That’s this week’s focus in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge.
What you need to know about the lifecycle of plastic
The Climate Change Collective is an initiative where the blogging community unites behind a common goal. As Plastic Free July wraps up for another year, this month’s lead post is from Alison at A Sustainably Simple life, who provides an informative look at the lifecycle of plastic and why it’s a problem for the environment.

Here we are at the end of July already. Is it just me, or is the year just flying by? This week, in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we finish our kitchen clean-up by decluttering the fridge and freezer. Like last week’s pantry clean-out, this is a task that’s long overdue for me.
