An Introduction

Hello and welcome to this tiny corner of the internet! My name is Rachel Heming, and for the next several months (and possibly longer) I'll be maintaining this blog, Sustainable is Attainable, for my class "Writing for Social Change." I'm a student pursuing a degree in writing and environmental studies, so writing about sustainability and the environment is basically a combination of two of my passions. 

Here at Sustainable is Attainable, I'm hoping to highlight some of the achievements and efforts that people are making in this great wide world to create a greener future. The world is full of over-consumption, greed, and waste, but it's also full of caring, driven, innovative people that are working hard to change that. I believe that when we work to live more sustainably, it benefits people just as much as the planet. 

There are so many problems that need people to care about them. Inequality, poverty, government corruption... the list goes on. The amount of injustice in the world hurts me deeply, so I try to channel that energy into helping where I can. The changing climate and excessive waste are issues that really call to me, so that is where I try most to help. 

I want to learn about and share people working for a more sustainable world at all levels, working for change both big and small. Because I believe the future is what we make it, and there are so many people that want to make the planet better for everyone. 💚🌱
