About Eco Peanut

Planet earth is in crisis. Global warming leads to rising sea levels, bleaching of our coral reefs, and a whole other host of problems you’ve already heard of. Overproduction and over consumption degrades our environment and natural resources, and fills our planet with plastic and toxic waste.

You get the point. I could keep listing out negative shit. and you’ve probably heard it all before.

Yet nothing seems to change. Why?

We can’t rely on the world leaders to make the right decisions any longer. The change has to come from the bottom up, because it sure ain’t coming from the top down. The power is in YOUR hands.

Eco Peanut exists to educate and inspire humans to live sustainable, low-impact, self-sufficient lives. Our aim is to empower you to make small, compounding decisions that benefit you, your family, and the greater good.

Maybe you want to start small and grow your own herbs. Or maybe you’re ready to go gung-ho and flip the bird to the system and go completely off grid. Not matter what you’re able or willing to do, it all helps. Even one small action, on a global scale, can have a huge positive compounding effect.

Whether you start small, or go large, taking action TODAY is the main thing. A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.

Doing the right thing, becoming self sufficient, and ‘earning your keep’. This is what Eco Peanut is about.
