ASAP…Here’s Why

We know the world is in crisis. Thinking about how we can specifically help can feel overwhelming. We created As Sustainable As Possible (ASAP) TM to help us all understand how our everyday decisions can make a major impact on our world.

What is Sustainability?  There can be a lot of confusion as to what this buzz word really means. At ASAP we focus on three areas to define Sustainability. These three strands make up the Braid of Sustainability: Planet, People, and Prosperity. Through these areas, we do the work to help you know how to make the best decisions on both your every day needs and general purchases.

We know how daunting it can feel to do a google search to check out businesses and products on your own. We also know you can’t always trust what you see at first glance. So, we have done the work for you.

Our editors and staff spent months evaluating and vetting the resources you see on this site with those three areas in mind. We looked at each company’s products and business practices. As designers, we have considered their design process and aesthetics. As Rebecca, our founder and experienced leader in living sustainability says, “Good Design is intrinsically, ‘Sustainable.’”

Whether you’re starting your journey or a seasoned sustainable consumer, we want you to enjoy our gallery of resources. Check them out. Get to know them. Find what you need. As you see companies you like, share them with your community. Spread the word to help us toward a more sustainable future.

While we know we can’t be perfect, we can try to be “As Sustainable As Possible.” Together, we can “Create a Culture of Sustainability and Ethical Choice.” It’s about making one more decision today than you did yesterday toward a more sustainable future.
