This is how it all started…
Hi, I’m Emily, the creator of My Studio Sustainability, and I’m excited you’re here! This blog is about my personal journey to living sustainably and inspiring others to make eco-friendly choices.
I grew up in Southeastern Ohio, where my love for nature was nurtured by my parents. Their simple, mindful approach to living sparked my passion for sustainability and protecting the environment.
After earning a degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Pittsburgh, I moved to Eagle County, Colorado, and began working as a Sustainability Intern. There, I gained hands-on experience in waste reduction, composting, and zero-waste initiatives. Later, as a Sustainability Coordinator, I helped businesses and residents adopt eco-friendly practices. These experiences showed me that sustainability isn’t just a career—it’s a way of life.
Now, I live in a small 550-square-foot apartment, where I continue to integrate sustainability into my daily routine. Whether it’s upcycling, composting, or making mindful purchases, I’ve learned that small actions can have a big impact.
Through My Studio Sustainability, I want to share practical tips and inspiration to help you live a more sustainable life, no matter your circumstances. Let’s make sustainability fun and accessible together!
