Sustainability is a journey

Sustainability is a journey and everyone is welcome to join and participate at their own pace.

This is something I truly believe in, and I’d like to share with you a bit about my own sustainability journey.

I’m born in the 90’s, immersed in a society of supermarket abundance and plastic being king. Luckily, I’ve grown up in a family sensible about respecting nature, and who over time, developed an awareness for eco conscious practices — you might hear me refer to my upbringing often here as I think it really influenced my personality and my interests to this day.

But today I’m not going to talk about my early life but rather focus on my sustainability journey over the last 5 years — since I left my Parisian student life to work in London. Since then, my sustainability journey has been a steadily growing one. And here’s what it looks like.

I started with the food I eat. Over the years I have switched to plant base milk, then eating more seasonal and local vegetables and fruits, later I focused on choosing organic as much as I could and lately I have adopted a vegetarian diet at home. I followed by looking into the skincare I use. I am now choosing organic, vegan and sustainably sourced product packed in glass or aluminium. Lately I’m focusing on cutting down my plastic use in the entire home. I switched to solid soaps and found non-plastic alternative to some usual bathroom and kitchen tools. Recently I bought my first ever vintage jewellery piece. 

Living more consciously is something that I’ve built on over time and is a constant learning curve.

Today I am open to discover knew ways of choosing and doing, and have the will to expand the areas where I can make a positive impact. I am choosing to live a life with our planet in mind.

Applying these conscious commitments to myself and being engaged in living a more sustainable life naturally radiates to my professional life. This is why I’m choosing to dedicate my design expertise to guide growing conscious businesses.

At Diane Flore Studio we love to collaborate with conscious businesses already engaged in their sustainability journey. We also welcome the ones willing to renew and start growing their business in an Earth friendlier way.

Are you a conscious business owner? I’d love to know when your sustainability journey started and how it evolved?

Are you willing to start growing your business in an Earth friendlier way? Remember, it’s always the right time to start your sustainability journey!

So if this sounds like you, we’d love to connect. I hope we can weave our journeys together!
