About Us
Hi, I’m Tracey, and my Somewhat Green journey
started in March 2019. My light bulb moment (or
Oprah ‘Ah ah!’ moment) happened when I wanted to
get my step-grandchildren some gifts. So, we called
to a department store and picked up a heap of
presents. I was amazed at how cheap everything
was. The presents filled the boot!
Instead of going “straight to the pool room” as toys
to be treasured forever, some went straight to the
bin.
There was a plastic cricket set that broke
immediately, a bat that didn’t fit the plastic ball, and
a plastic golf stick that wasn’t even strong enough
to hit the plastic ball it came with.
I said to myself: “Flipping heck! What did I just fall
into? Mass consumerism. Buying excessive amounts
of stuff, none of which is good for the environment.
“And, even worse, buying things that went straight to landfill
with barely a single use. This wasn’t single-use plastic – this
was no-use plastic!”
I then started thinking of other things I buy in everyday life
that I don’t need.
My main goal now is to reduce the amount of stuff I buy. My
thinking is simple: if everyone buys quality there will be less
need for recycling and landfill. In other words, we can reduce
the long-term impact on the environment of what we buy by
moving away from being a throw-away society.
