"Sustainable living is a celebration of creativity, kindness, and the natural world in every day life"

A quote from Lisa Allen of The Good Spark Shop in California, and (since we recorded this) is now rebranded as EverFar, focusing on sustainable travel essentials. She is just so inspiring when she talks about all things eco-friendly! First The Good Spark Shop, where she curated the best products around; checking ingredients and labels for you, so there's no questioning quality and origin. And now with travel essentials as EverFar; this is actually a line that she created - and making it a legit brand (launching in just a couple weeks)!

Lisa is also organizing a group of like-minded folks to meet up and talk about what we can do to help the climate situation we're in. If you're interested in the group, you can find info about it and join on the website easily.

"Intentional, Eco-conscious choices create a ripple effect of goodness."

"It's too easy to get overwhelmed - too much information, too many "shiny object" vying for our attention (and our dollars). Change starts with small. Change starts with where you are NOW, move slowly and at your own pace to where you want to be."

These are both her quotes. Lisa was so easy to talk to, and just oozes service to the earth. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lisa Allen!
