About

Hello, I’m Melo. I’m the author of this blog and mama to Mills. Sustainable lifestyle choices can empower us. That’s why I’ve passionately advocated for plant based cuisine, zero waste living, eco-friendly parenting, slow fashion, circular economy and maker culture for over ten years. 

Here, I share mouthwatering recipes, DIY ideas, eco-parenting tips and all my sustainable trials, errors and victories! 

As individuals, we are not responsible for climate change or the terrible environmental impacts of industry. Still, individual action makes a difference because of the sum of our collective efforts and because it inspires optimism. 

Ten years ago, I started this blog, originally titled MTL VEG, to share my passion for plant-based food. I’ve evolved, and so has the blog. In 2023, I changed the name to include my daughter’s nickname, “Mills.” It’s meaningful because everything I do is for her and her generation. They are the future and they are why we should care.

As a parent, citizen action inspires me and fills me with gratitude. Whether you ditch plastic, vote for climate or go vegan, your actions challenge the status quo. Caring enough to give a *bleep* gives us all hope that change is possible.
