A Sustainable Penny is a site dedicated to the exploration and search of a 
sustainable lifestyle in the modern world. It is a social commentary, a discussion of lifestyle, a documentation of the real world, and the realistic expression of challenges, successes, and ideas for diminishing one’s footprint in today’s consumptive world. It is an implementation of my own attempt at finding a sustainable balance between artistry, a work-life balance, and creating goods that give back to the people and environment around me.
