Ecodove is a shared knowledge portal helping our community to make research driven decisions as we aim to live more sustainably. Our aim is to stay positive and open minded and share independent, science-based research. We are similar to ecowarriors; we just don’t want to fight about it.
Each journey to sustainability is unique – our intentions at Ecodove are not to tell you how great we are at sustainability, or what you should be doing to be more sustainable.
Living more sustainably is an aim, not an outcome. There is no finish line, and there are always compromises. For every forward step I take in my sustainability journey, there are often three steps back….like the time I bought an electric car to reduce our household emissions and three months later my husband bought a diesel camper van – it was unavoidable – we love camping, and I’m too old to sleep in a tent.
I try not to be too judgmental of myself when I try and fail, and I am equally not judgmental of others who are either not bothered, too busy, or simply have other priorities. Life is complicated, and we are all doing the best we can! I recognize that pursuing eco-friendly ways of living is a luxury. My aim in sharing successes, failures, and information via the Ecodove community is only to inform.
