Addie Fisher Sustainable Living Sustainability

Hello, everyone!  My name is Addie Fisher and I am a sustainable living enthusiast.

I have always been creative, and I love making things that can help people all while maintaining the natural beauty of this world. Growing up, I always wanted to be an architect. Once I got to college I teeter-tottered between architecture and interior design, where I discovered and fell in love with learning more about the principles of sustainability. It started with sustainable building design and reuse, moved on to include sustainable fashion, and now the concepts of sustainability have infiltrated my entire life. I have pursued a more sustainable lifestyle ever since. Being sustainable is a journey, and I want to share my eco-friendly journey with you.

    I love that you included a Disney gif on your about page! That is so cool you want to be an architect.

    I’m stopping by from the #tribaldare! I’m Teresa and I blog over at Crafty Wife where I share my craftaholic tendencies, obsession with Disney, and newfound love of photography. I can’t wait to connect with you more! Have a wonderful week!

      It all started with an ARWB tweet I saw a few hours ago. Disney has taught me that this us the way great friendships are forged lol =) I look forward to following your journey and that awesome furniture, as well! Thanks, doll! =)

    Hi Addie ….

    This message is wayyyy overdue ….

    Just wanted to send out a BIG thank you for posting my CUBED bench on your fantastic site!

    This was brilliant:

    “Say old chap, do you recall that warm and inviting concrete structure? It was ever so pleasant!” (you read that with an accent hehehe)

    Not to mention you put me on the same page as Tara Ando – whose work I’ve always found fascinating ….

    You rock! (paper tree) …. pun intended …. 🙂

    I took some ‘time off’ …. had a beautiful baby girl …. but am working on some new stuff which I hope you’lol LoVe! …. I’ll be in touch …. cheers!

Discarding the top of strawberries has been the norm my entire life. But why?

Eating the tops of strawberries is one tiny sustainable change that didn’t take a lot of effort. 

What’s one small eco-conscious change you’ve implemented that made you say “Why didn’t I think of this before?!” 💡✨
