November 05, 2019

It’s easy to feel alone when tackling a total lifestyle makeover, like living green. Complicate that by the fact that living green means different things to different people, and it can be even more intimidating.

These Instagrammers are living out loud with their green lifestyles, and helping you gain insight about small steps you can take to lead a greener, cleaner life for yourself, your children, your home, and the planet.

3. @jenlittlebirdie

Nature enthusiast, author, blogger, and sustainable lifestyle aficionado, Jen Chillingsworth is @jenlittlebirdie on Instagram where she shares her love of green living with her fans. Not only is she a fan of living green, she is also a fan of what she calls “slow living.” People who embrace this lifestyle take time to stop and smell the roses, and are known for being present and living in the moment.

Her images show the kind of slow intentional lifestyle many of us hope to lead. Whether taking in stunning views of the water, walking through fields of flowers, or simply sitting and taking in a great book, living slow and green can be an amazing experience.

4. @urbanstrongnyc

Addressing the global lack of green spaces, @urbanstrongnyc displays images from around the world of living walls, green roofs, and vertical green spaces. While the Instagram page features many stunning green walls and spaces around the world, the organization behind the Instagram images seeks to train architects, builders, and others about the many benefits constructing and designing these types of buildings represents to communities, cities, and the planet as a whole.

Not only can they be sources of sustainable food supplies into the future, but they are also visually stunning images to consider.
