May 27, 2020

Kris Bordessa says the past few decades have “done a number” on what we consider normal.

So how can we create a sustainable, more natural way of living regardless of where we live? One small step at a time, from wherever we begin, says Kris.

We discuss her #1 success tip. How to create a greener lifestyle when time and money is limited. Microgreens, the easiest vegetables to grow, and easy ways to ferment foods like sauerkraut. Why your bunny’s poop makes great fertilizer. And why her natural living blog made National Geographic come calling.

Kris Bordessa is an eco-expert, freelance writer, and author. She created the blog Attainable-Sustainable in 2011. Her new book is Attainable Sustainable: The Lost Art of Self-Reliant Living.
