Hello! I’m Vanessa, a plant-based human living a sustainable a life as possible in the Inland Empire.

I suffered horrible eco-anxiety before making the switch to a plant-based diet and low-waste lifestyle, and even then, I initially struggled to achieve a balance between my ideals and what was attainable. Actually, I went from one extreme to another—from a wasteful lifestyle to a zero-waste one. Somewhere along the way, I learned to eat and live more eco-consciously without stressing about perfection (fortunately for my nervous system). I find life more enjoyable and meaningful now, and in creating Planet Plant, I hope to share vegan, eco-friendly tips that will help others reduce their consumption of animal products and wasteful materials, no matter the reason and no matter the location.
