HOW ARE YOUR TRAVELS
AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT?
THE GREEN LIFE
The thing we have noticed most is that you
just don’t need as much stuff as you think!
Being a full-time family living on the road in
our Coromal caravan for the last 10 months
has been the most freeing experience we
could ever have imagined, and most of all it
has made us become conscious consumers.
The ‘footprint’ this lifestyle leaves is
enthusiastically small compared to our
previous living experience of a three-bedroom
house. The idea of being more conscious in
our buying choices helps us reduce the need
to purchase single-use items, and also to say
no to the extra packaging that is regularly
available disguised as ‘convenience’.
We have been living a ‘low-tox' life for the
past seven years as we were given no solid
answers to our (in)fertility woes. We slowly
removed everything we could that may have
been a contributing factor, including the
microwave, all plastic food and storage
containers, and anything that had toxic
ingredients to aid in cleaning. This led us to
use all-natural products wherever possible
and seek alternatives as we went.
During our IVF journey (more like a
rollercoaster!), we were fortunately introduced
to the world’s purest essential oils and their
ability to have a positive impact and use in
every part of our lives, from cleaning to
cooking and, most importantly, our health and
well-being!
