Welcome to Sustainable Suburbia!

Thank you for visiting! My name’s Jess, and I created this blog to chart my journey towards living a more sustainable life in the suburbs. Like a lot of others, I have the dream of one day moving to the country, having my couple of acres, and going crazy creating a sustainable hobby farm that will feed myself and my partner Nick (though probably not my cat…).

However… also like most people, my job is in the city - and hence I have to live in suburbia in order to be close enough to work. So - a compromise. I am attempting to do all I can to realise my dream for a sustainable lifestyle in the confines of a suburban block. The more I learn about the state of our world - and the future we are heading towards - the more important I think it is to live my life in a sustainable way, and to educate and encourage each others to do the same!

Welcome to my journey!
