PROJECT
My initiative for askBelynda came about through my own personal journey to live a more sustainable life. As I began to examine the products I was purchasing, I realized that it was difficult to know which products were truly environmentally-friendly without spending a lot of time researching. This realization led me to think about the challenges that other consumers may face when trying to make sustainable choices. This sparked the idea for askBelynda, a platform that makes it easy for people to make environmentally-friendly choices by recommending sustainable products to consumers while they shop online.

I believe that small changes can add up to make a big difference, and I am dedicated to being a part of that change.
