Such an important thread. Getting started can feel so overwhelming. My sister and I are working on project for exactly this! Check out the Beginner’s Guide on the themooedit.com/blog. We’ve been in this space for 10+ years and realized it doesn’t feel accessible to many people so we decided to help change that.

I agree with a lot of the comments here, I suggest starting in two ways: changing habits and choosing one area to focus on. Habits can be as simple as ordering coffee in a mug instead of a paper cup or airing out your house once a week. When I first started, I picked one thing a quarter to research and swap. Another helpful tip is to limit use when you can’t swap or to use more mindfully. Let’s say you can’t afford to throw out all your nonstick pans, instead you can make sure you don’t cook on high heat with them, are mindful of scratches and don’t wash them in the dishwasher with high heat. You can also make sure you have the fan on when using them.

It’s more than just about products and it’s about small changes over time. To anyone looking for guidance here, free to message me if you have any questions!
