SUSTAINABILITY COACHING

As author and activist Lynn Twist says:  each of us has a part to play in solving the environmental crisis: It's not a big part, it's not a small part, it's just OUR part.  Have you decided it's time to take action?  Does this involve greening your own life or do you want to take on some larger green vision?    Wherever you are on your green journey - whether you're just taking your first steps or you want to dive into deeper action -  I would love to be there to coach and support you. Greening your own Life So, it's become important to you to become green in your personal life.  You want your kids and all kids everywhere to have a good life on a healthy planet.  Perhaps you've  been to the Living Green Expo (or a similar sustainability expo) and walked through aisles and aisles of booths on different aspects of going green.  There was solar paneling, windows, composting, recycling, grass fed beef, biking, geothermal heating, CSAs, non-toxic house cleaning, to name a few.   It seems so overwhelming!  Do you buy the little wool dryer balls or start riding your bike to work?  Is it paper or plastic? (Neither, sorry to say.)  How do you even know where to start?   Let me help!

I would now recommend coaching to anyone (and think, in fact, that nearly anyone could benefit greatly from a good coaching relationship). I am so happy I took the opportunity. - Leitha

• Simplify!  Do you feel like you are buried under a pile of stuff?  What would it be like to have closets with only stuff you use?  Or to be able to clean the house without a big de-cluttering project?  The most over-looked aspect of going green is the importance of our consumer purchases.  Think of the footprint of each thing we purchase:  the extraction of raw materials such as minerals and trees, the use of fossil fuels in creating and transporting it and the size of our homes we need to store it.  Does all that stuff really make us happier? (Statistically no.)  We can liberate your life and the planet at the same time by slowing the stream of stuff into your life!
• Do you need to re-think food: Are you stuck in choices that are neither healthy for you or the planet? With 5 years experience as a nutritional educator, I can help you create and live better food choices. 
• Create new green habits.  We can start small!  At the checkout lane do you consistently forget to bring your re-useable bag?  What would it be like to not have your pantry overrun by plastic bags? 
• Are there bigger changes you want to make around the house:  composting or an energy audit? I can help point you to resources.

AND Save money.  The beauty is that being green is often no different than being thrifty. Our great grandparents would be surprised at the way we waste food, electricity and resources. Create new habits with me, save money for a lifetime.
