WRITTEN BY SUMMER CARLTON
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook the environmental impact of our daily choices. As a real estate professional with a passion for sustainability, I’ve made it my mission to find practical, eco-friendly alternatives that align with our planet's well-being. Join me as I share some of my favorite green discoveries that not only reduce plastic usage but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
