Official Launch Of Islands To Cottages
Celebrating International Women’s Day With The Official Launch Of Islands To Cottages !
On this International Women’s Day, we are happy to celebrate the official launch of the first bilingual lifestyle website focusing on sustainability and mindfulness in Atlantic Canada : Islands To Cottages – Nova Scotia Sustainable + Mindful Living.
At Islands to Cottages we provide eco-friendly solutions for a simple yet vibrant sustainable living. We also offer our voice and resources to contribute to build solid relationships and foster a mindful understanding of our incredible diversity of cultures, languages, histories and heritage within the many communities of Mi’kma’ki.
More than just a business, Islands to Cottages is about embracing a way of life, a state of mind. Island living, just as cottage living, is rugged. It is down-to-earth and simply beautiful. It means making the best of what we already have on hand. Sourcing locally. Buying responsibly while reducing global consumerism. It means sharing our resources and perpetuating our traditions.
On an island, at the cottage, off the grid or simply in a retreat away from readily available conveniences, there is no other choice than making it work. We learn to make do with what we have. It is all about embracing the whole Reduce-Reuse-Recycle wisdom. A simple concept and all of its variations. Repair, reinvent, rethink, renovate, refuse, rot etc. Not because it is trending but because there is no other alternative and because, ultimately, we believe in it. It is about stretching our resources and keeping it true and natural. Caring for our environment. Adapting to our surroundings and learning to live in unison. Islands to Cottages is a place where we tell our stories. Where we rediscover realities sometimes forgotten and reconnect with our inner dreams and aspirations.
Islands to Cottages was created to share that philosophy that we all can have access to a simpler and healthier lifestyle. That each and everyone of us can make a difference by making better choices. All throughout the website, you will find clever ideas to make your everyday a little greener. From inspiring articles and easy to follow tutorials to a wide range of affordable and ready to use custom-designed essentials, you will find all the resources you need to successfully start your green shift, right here, in Nova Scotia.
