EcoSherpa - Realistic, Responsible Living

Here at EcoSherpa we are focused on inspiring people to live in a more earth-friendly way.
We all need to do our part to lessen our ecological footprint, but it’s important to remember that old paradigms die hard. We can’t expect everyone to suddenly drop everything in order to jump on the sustainability band-wagon.

The way we see it, in order to inspire mass-participation green alternatives need to be readily available, easy to implement & understand, and they need to be effective!

Extremism simply won’t work on a large scale. As important as sustainable practices are these days, they still need to be made appealing for the masses – ‘fun’, ‘achievable’, ‘fascinating’, ‘profitable’, ‘cool’ – these are just some of the words we want people to associate with the green movement. Serving up environmentalism with a hefty side order of ‘doom and gloom’, or making these necessary changes seem impossible or undesirable just isn’t the best way to go!

Our main goal is to connect with and motivate as many people as possible – providing the guidance and encouragement needed to get started on the path towards green living.

EcoSherpa is the brainchild of good friends, Bentley Christie and Steve Doiron , two Canadians with a passion for eco-friendly solutions.

A major source of our motivation was the serious lack of green alternatives available in our local stores. This led us to explore the internet in search of green products and information. As we quickly discovered, the web is full of incredible resources, but attempting navigate the tangled array of websites can be a daunting and tiresome task. So we decided to create a site that helps people connect with the eco info they are looking for.

Whether you are a complete beginner or a full-fledged treehugger, EcoSherpa has something to offer. We’re on the journey towards sustainable living ourselves, and we sincerely hope our upbeat, honest approach inspires others.

Be sure to add us to your ‘favorites’ or feedreader, tell a friend, and check back often!

Each of us can make a positive impact in the world. Even tiny steps can lead to giant leaps. Our hope is that by visiting our website you will be encouraged to make green changes in your life, thus reducing your ecological footprint.

Share knowledge and encourage change!
