Welcome to our little slice of the internet. We’re a family with a dream that’s as vast as the ocean – to sail around the world, embracing the beauty of the seas and the freedom of the winds. But as we set our sails towards this dream, we encountered a sea of challenges, the most pressing of which is the plastic pollution threatening our beloved oceans. This is our story, the journey that led us to create Zero Plastic Life.
You see, it all started with a vision. We, a family of aspiring sailors, have always been drawn to the ocean’s majestic charm. The tranquility of the sea, the rhythmic lapping of the waves, and the boundless horizon have always been our sanctuary. But as we delved deeper into our sailing aspirations, we witnessed a harsh reality – our oceans are in distress, primarily due to plastic pollution. This realization was a wake-up call. We knew we had to do something, not just for us, but for our two young children who are our constant reminders of the future we need to protect.
Embarking on our sailing dream meant we had to rethink our lifestyle, especially our reliance on plastics. We found ourselves struggling to find plastic-free alternatives for everyday essentials – be it in the kitchen, the bath, or just everyday items. The challenge wasn’t just about finding alternatives; it was about finding them in one central location. And that’s how Zero Plastic Life was born – out of necessity, passion, and a deep-rooted desire to make a change.
Our blog is more than just a compilation of plastic-free products. It’s a testament to a lifestyle choice, a conscious decision to reduce our plastic footprint and safeguard our oceans. It’s about sharing our journey, the lessons we learn along the way, and the joy of discovering that living plastic-free is not only possible but also incredibly fulfilling.
Our young children, our little sailors in training, are the heart of our mission. They inspire us to stay healthy, to tread gently on this planet, and to leave a legacy that they can be proud of. They are our constant reminders of why we must protect our oceans.
As we continue to be drawn to the ocean’s call, we invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor, a lover of the seas, or someone who’s just starting to dip their toes into the idea of a sustainable lifestyle, there’s something here for you. Let’s navigate these waters together, share our experiences, and help each other in making choices that honor our oceans.
Here’s to smooth sailing towards a cleaner, greener, and plastic-free horizon. Welcome aboard!
