Karen’s blog Sustainable Daisy spans a wide range of topics to help us live more sustainably. With a background in environmental science, Karen often shares some of the facts that are incredibly shocking, but in our eyes very necessary to know. Her blog post Quitting the Plastic Straw: 5 Ways to Stop Sucking tells us that over 500 million plastic straws are used in the USA every year. This single plastic item, that is sometimes never even used, but is ingrained in our lifestyle to be put into every single cold beverage, can take over 1000 years to decompose. Another fact shared in Karen’s blog Reusable Cups: Starting a Sustainable Habit is that less than 2% of Starbucks visitors bring their own cup.

Addy Fisher, the creator of Old World New, has created a blog that is based on her passion for architecture and sustainability. Addy blogs about products, fashion, travel, DIY, and how to make small sustainable changes around your house. In her blog How to Create A Paperless Kitchen, Addy lays it out in a way that we believe will almost certainly guarantee success, such as having different designs or colors to delineate tasks for your cloth towels. She also shares facts such as “If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber paper towels (70 sheets) with 100 percent recycled ones, we could save 544,000 trees” in case you have to use paper towels but still want to know that you are making an impact with recycled ones. And for all the mothers she has also created a blog called Tiny Green Earthling.
