Friday’s Frugal Five (Heat Wave Edition)

The city of Kirkland where I live hit 111°F on Monday. After topping out at 106°F on Sunday and 102°F on Saturday. We’ve only ever hit triple digits here a few times, and never two days in a row, let alone three. Two thirds of homes in our area don’t have any air conditioning. And…

Reader Question: How Do I Find an Environmental Career?

Today I have a different kind of post, but a "series" I would love to continue in the future. I got a reader email earlier this month with a question for me that I felt needed more than a quick response via email, and one I thought could use some advice from more than just…

Disability and Sustainability: Pursuing Zero Waste While Chronically Ill

I first heard some of Tami's story before she was a blogger herself. A couple years ago, she recorded an episode on FIRE Drill Podcast. Disability and chronic illness is rarely discussed in the FIRE (financial independence, retire early) community - oftentimes it seems to be overlooked on purpose because it flies in the face…

How We’ve Stocked Up for COVID-19 (Our Emergency Preparedness Supplies List)

A couple weeks ago, I began reaching out to friends to ask about the status of their food and supplies at home - if they had the minimum two weeks as recommended as a standard rule of thumb for emergency preparedness. For the most part, I got lightly brushed off and business continued as usual,…

Launching Ecofrugals: The New Site from Tread Lightly Retire Early and Frugasaurus

When I first started blogging back in summer 2017, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and knew no one in the online community. Months before I had even figured out that Twitter was where I would find the majority of my personal finance friends, I'd somehow connected with a few other new…

The Plastic Free December Challenge (12/1-12/7)

Plastic is one of the ubiquitous pieces of this century, and the idea of being fully "plastic free" even for a single week isn't something that can really be done for those of us who live fully ingrained in our society. Our cars and transportation options are full of plastic. Most of our shoes and…

The Environmental Impact of Having No (Or Fewer) Children: Guest Post By A Purple Life

Growing up, I always expected to have two children. I even had it in my head that I would maybe want more than that, but biologically I knew I would be done at two so that I wouldn't do more than replacing myself and my future partner on this earth. Before I had any clear…

Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays: Week 58 Roundup

Welcome to another week of the Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays roundup. I started this series after months of debate because I wasn’t certain I wanted to up the ante and commit to publishing three posts a week. However, now that I’ve started sharing these posts, I’m so glad I started. There are so many fabulous…

I’m Not A Perfect Environmentalist – So How Can I Consider Myself A Leader?

In my everyday life, I feel like I'm doing pretty well when it comes to the environment. Sustainability has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it's rare that I don't make decisions with the planet in mind. Compared to most people I interact with on a…

Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays: Frugal Sustainability Roundup

To mix things up this week, I ended up with a theme for these three posts today. Considering we are in the middle of climate strikes - and real discussions on how we need to take climate change seriously - it feels appropriate to curate this roundup in this way. Personal finance is a great…
