My name is Martina, I am currently studying environmental science at the University of Exeter, in May 2019 I decided to try and slowly transition to being vegan and zero-waste, or as close to zero-waste as possible. 

 

I am not perfect, I make mistakes, I still take long flights, I still have that occasional chocolate bar, I still buy packaged goods, but I am trying to change, and I think that slowly changing my lifestyle is what will make me feel best. I don’t know what this blog will be yet, but for now, I want to share how I have learnt to be healthy and feel my best, any tips on how to be more eco-friendly, some recipes and products I love, and just some thoughts that I have on certain topics. I have ideas to discuss the whole concept of being vegan, of what sustainability really is, palm oil, if avocados really are vegan, and so much more.

 

I am not an expert (at all), I still have so much to learn, so I may be wrong at times, or my thoughts may seem controversial, but in the end, these are just my opinions and my journey that I want to share. 

 

Some posts may be shorter than others, some may be about steps I have taken to get closer to my goal, and some may be the challenges I face. Who knows who will read this and how this will turn out, but I am going for it, cause what have I got to lose? I am just happy to be able to put my journey into words somewhere for my future self, and maybe, help someone out there trying to achieve something similar.

 

So yeah, to whoever may be reading, hope this helps.
