Hi, I’m Melissa-founder of Thriving Sustainably

And someone who never expected a beach vacation to change the course of her life.

This blog shares practical tips, researched product reviews, and realistic ways to reduce plastic—without guilt, overwhelm, or perfectionism. I combine what I’ve learned through corporate sustainability work with what works in everyday life. Every recommendation is backed by thorough research to help you cut through the noise of greenwashing and make genuinely informed choices.

My journey into sustainable living began on a corporate level when I joined my company’s ESG leadership team. It opened my eyes to the impact that business decisions have on the environment, but it wasn’t until I attended a talk by the Plastic Soup Foundation that things hit home. The stats were shocking. The visuals? Even worse. But what truly made it personal was a visit to Cannon Beach, Oregon. I remember standing on the sand, looking down, and realizing the tiny colorful specks weren’t seashells—microplastics.

That moment stuck with me. And it’s what led me to create Thriving Sustainably.
