Shelby Clemons is a local Santa Cruz blogger whose message is all about navigating through your 20s. We talk about how she didn’t ever feel passionate about just one thing which made picking a major in college and deciding where to work after graduating difficult. Her platform is a place to help normalize not being passionate about just one thing.
One of the things she’s passionate about is sustainability and finding ways to reduce your waste.
We talk about how crazy 2020 is for everyone so it’s not about being perfect in your efforts to live a low waste lifestyle; it’s about being in a good headspace and doing small things to reduce your waste. She gives some amazing tips and resources that make caring for the planet a little easier but most importantly we talk about how important it is to give yourself and others grace in the process and prioritizing your mental health over anything.
