Dirt
Dirt
Dirt is a lifestyle blog where I explore a bit of everything—from brands that catch my eye to companies and individuals making bold moves in sustainability and social responsibility.
I aim to spotlight those with a distinct edge or a strong commitment to changing things up in their field of work.
I also write about my own life, routines, and thoughts.
Vetting for Dirt is done using publicly available information, research into company practices, and internal references from trusted solutions experts and sources.

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay
1 Hanalei Bay is one of the most sustainable hotels that I have ever heard of. Sustainability is, quite literally, built into the hotel’s DNA, including “144.6 tons of salvaged materials turned into furniture, sustainable art pieces that pay homage to their surroundings, and an array of reclaimed teak joists, puma lava stone, quartz, Caesarstone, and so much more.”

Patagonia Tinned Fish
Tinned fish is having a real moment. If you haven’t bought the book, aptly named, “The Magic of Tinned Fish: Elevate Your Cooking with Canned Anchovies, Sardines, Mackerel, Crab, and Other Amazing Seafood”, by Chris McDade, you should. It takes you through delicious recipes and even gives a list of brands that make the best quality tinned fish. It’s also just so pretty.
