About Mark Spenser

Founder & Zero-Waste Advocate at SustainablyYour.com

Hey there! I’m Mark Spenser – a passionate sustainability newbie documenting my journey to live more intentionally while helping others do the same.

Though I’m just starting out, I’ve immersed myself in sustainable living through:
 Hands-on experiments – From DIY bamboo toothbrushes to upcycling 100+ household items
 Certified learning – Completed courses in Circular Economy (SDG Academy) and Urban Gardening (Coursera)
 Community building – Growing a [sustainable living]-member Instagram community (@sustainablyyour) where we share fails and wins

This blog is my way of:
Breaking down eco-friendly living into simple, actionable steps
Testing “green” products so you don’t have to (spoiler: many are scams!)
Sharing data-backed guides (because sustainability needs less hype, more facts)

Why Trust My Advice?

• Transparency first: Every tip I share is something I’ve personally tried – you’ll see my unfiltered results (including messy failures!).

• Open-source ethos: All my projects/code are public on GitHub for verification.

• No greenwashing: If a “sustainable” brand disappoints me, I’ll tell you straight.

My Story

In 2023, I shocked myself by counting 127 plastic bottles in my monthly trash. As a developer (see my tech side here), I knew there had to be a systematic way to fix this.

Now, I:
 Build low-waste tools (like my open-source recycling tracker)
 Write beginner-friendly guides (because sustainability info is often overwhelming)
 Connect with experts (follow my interviews on Twitter/X)
