ABOUT
Since Eco18 was launched in 2011 a lot has changed. The climate, our government, worldwide uncertainty, the “Me Too” movement, plant-based foods, the opioid crisis, an acceleration of natural disasters, deforestation, endangered species, and a new generation demanding change to name a few.
What hasn’t changed is that eco18 remains a collective of creative writing individuals with a common goal—to live a healthier more natural lifestyle. However, the urgency of how we all change our habits to protect and preserve our home planet has escalated significantly. We cannot wait for those who do not believe in climate change to get on board, we certainly can’t wait for our government to take the lead, each one of us has to advocate for our earth and our oceans. We have to clean up our act, raise the green bar, and not leave it to the next generation to do what we should have been doing all along.
As Greta Thunberg said,
“The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change.”
The passion and commitment of this new generation of activists inspires us to change our daily habits. Of course, habit change is difficult, but the key lies in replacing one habit with another. At eco18 we want to help you take mini steps — too-small-to-fail actions that can put you on the path of sustainable change. Change that will collectively make the difference to healing the health of our planet and every living creature on it.
Let’s work to transform the planetary crisis from a “war on” mentality to a “refocusing on connections”. How we are all interconnected to each other and the earth will ultimately bring us all to a place of agreement that we love our living earth and we want it to flourish with abundant life.

I’ve loved writing for as long as I could remember and became interested in a career where I could combine my writing and creativity skills. Starting my professional path in the luxury fashion space, I became aware of how harmful this industry is to the environment and decided I wanted to work alongside brands that make a positive impact to the environment. It’s great to have the chance to work alongside these brands and share important narratives that can help save the planet!
