Home in the Green

Our family's journey to living more sustainably and working towards financial independence.

About

I live in Scotland with my partner and two small children.  Since having children we have become more focussed on reducing our environmental impact and building secure financial future.  I work full time, so I’m always looking for ways to maximise time with my family, and also look after my own wellbeing.  

Our goal is to be able to spend and invest our time and money in line with our values – which means reducing our own family’s environmental impact and supporting projects that try to do this on a larger scale.  We are still learning and far from perfect – sometimes we balance convenience with carbon impact. 

This blog is a way of sharing our journey and helping others with similar goals.

My mission, with Home in the Green, is to show that you do not have to pay a premium to live sustainably.

In fact, there are many ways that we can have a lower impact on the planet, and these can also help us to build wealth.

In this blog I share the strategies I have found to do this, from embracing minimalism to ethical investing.
