Hey there, I’m Jen!
Welcome to my sustainability website–I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Jen, and I’m a wife, mom of two, and a nurse. This passion project (as I’ve come to call it) stems from a lifelong innate desire to care for the environment. I remember as a child towing my red Radio Flyer wagon around the neighborhood and collecting trash from the gutters. Today, sustainability and clean living have grown more important to me for the sake of my kids, my health, and the continued worsening environmental crises.
My Vision
Besides my inherent desire to leave our planet better than I found it, my kids serve as an additional catalyst to this adventure. I want them to grow up in a world with clean water and breathable air. I instill the importance of responsible stewardship of our planet in them, and I hope to create this same change in as many people as I can, so that my children (and yours) and future generations can enjoy all that the natural world has to offer.
My Process
I bring over 20 years of health science experience as a nurse. In addition to my BSN degree, I am currently enrolled in a Sustainability and Behavior Change certificate program through the University of California-San Diego. I am also a certified Master Gardener, and completed Salt Lake City’s Master Recycler program. I continue to tour local facilities, learning from sustainability professionals. I’m passionate, thorough, and love to learn; I research hard, and science and facts are important to me.
My Mission
As I have sought ways to live more sustainably, I discovered how time-consuming and overwhelming it can be. Most people cannot afford the time to perform this deep research, and I have come to enjoy it. So I am here to share it with you!
I believe that the biggest barriers to sustainable living are education and convenience. I aim to break down these roadblocks by creating content that is thorough and research-backed, yet practical—bridging the gap between science and everyday life and simplifying the journey to go green.
Get Started
We’re all at different places in living sustainably, and we can all improve in some way. We don’t need to be perfect, but we all need to be better. So find a jumping off point, dive in, and Let’s Go Green!
I’d love to hear from you.
