Julia is one of my favorite sustainability advocates to follow and consult. She understands the challenge of combining a busy family lifestyle with the desire to protect and improve the planet for our kids' future. Her articles, workshops, and easily digestible tips (numbered guides and quick tips are my favorite part!) are insightful and fresh and most importantly never smug or alienating. She's a role model who breaks it down into manageable parts allowing any interested parent to feel good about their progress!
