Katie Schuller 3/01/2019 11:07 AMI've been striving to live sustainably since I first moved out of my parents home. This challenge has made me realize that I've been doing an excellent job reducing waste, conserving resources and preserving the earth. Who knew I have been on the right track all this time.-
