RehumanizingSage advice from our latest conversation with Em von Euw of This Rawsome Vegan Life. We spoke to Em about rehumanizing, the ways environmental and social justice intersect plant-based eating, and self-compassion. They remind us to be gentle with our hearts, always, as we find new ways of living lightly. This interview should be required reading!

New Year, New Trash Audit

Making a new habit stick can be challenging. As we think about ways to make long-lasting routines matter, our latest piece from Moji Igun, of Blue Daisi Consulting, will help you form mindful, sustainable habits. We all need to move towards low impact practices but the overwhelm of doing things perfectly can be daunting. Starting with a trash audit will help you shift your mindset and give visibility to the things we throw away. One step at a time, friends.

✨ This Week's Closed Loop Cook ✨We LOVE how Rachel Wood’s spiced molasses cookies with a tahini spin turned out! Way to improvise! Keep #closedloopcooking <3
