As a high school student who has grown up internationally - living in bustling cities for most of my life - moving from India to Italy and then to British Columbia, Canada, changed my life. I’ve always been conscious of the natural environment and interested in questions of sustainability, but I felt like it was so difficult to do something meaningful within the scope of my everyday life and the communities I inhabited. Coming to boarding school in Canada opened my eyes to what “something meaningful” might look like. Surrounded by nature’s power and beauty, I knew I had to take actions in my own everyday habits to contribute to maintaining and sustaining the local environment.  Having access to communities of peers in three countries and beyond,  I realised that I could also think about change with others across multiple networks. However, I am also very aware of the fact that although taking steps to embed sustainable actions in everyday living is a goal worth striving for, it can feel frustrating, be hard to stay motivated, and challenging to know how to make and keep up even those small changes that can be manageable for one’s daily routine. That’s why I started Eco Shifts - to make sustainability more accessible and engaging. Through monthly challenges, resources, and inspiration, this project is all about showing that even the smallest shifts in habit can add up to something big. The more participants we have thinking and acting together, the greater of an impact is being made!
