My story

Seven years ago, I discovered a ‘ground-breaking’ hobby, composting!

I was hooked and couldn’t contain the desire to help others live more sustainably. I started composting systems for everyone from my grandma to an apartment complex on Iowa State’s campus serving 3,000 students. I also began to slowly swap unsustainable products out of my life and became known as the eco-girl and Compost Queen.

My passion for sustainability continues to grow and now I want YOU to join me on the journey too! Sustainability can be overwhelming or seem time consuming, but I’m here to solve that issue. Down to Earth Living simplifies sustainability, so you can start making change in your daily life now!

You don’t need to be a tree hugger to live sustainably, but what we do need is action to keep the beautiful creation we have been given for future generations. Are you ready to get ‘down and dirty’ with me? Let’s do this!

My Zest for zinnias

I chose my favorite flower, the zinnia, for my logo as its characteristics beautifully describe our sustainability journey:

  • Zinnias are hardy flowers which reminds us of the fortitude necessary to adopting a sustainable lifestyle

  • Each flower on a zinnia plant blooms with a unique palette of colors just as each of our journeys bloom in a different way

  • Zinnias grow abundantly with loving care like how our lives can flourish abundantly when we joyfully pursue a sustainable life

LET’S Bloom together.
