Hello.
My name is Kat and welcome to my little Eco Empire. It’s where I live.
I initially started this blog because some people don’t realise that every decision you make has an impact on something or someone else and I wanted to inspire people to make ethical and sustainable decisions in everyday life, in the most fun and creative way possible.
I love making my own yummy but healthy, nutritious food (always gluten free!), clothes that are fashionable and ethical and often homemade or secondhand, practicing good health, homemade and DIY projects, giving kudos to the products and places and ‘things’ I like trust and admire, being inspired by other people (especially those in the blogosphere), and I really love my hometown of Perth, Western Australia. I sometimes like talk about the nitty gritty environmental issues but I always offer easy eco tips to make it less daunting. But most of all I love adventures – who doesn’t?

Hello!
I was absolutely delighted when I stumbled across your blog – it’s very informative and was the beacon of light I was looking for in Perth! I am moving from Austin, Texas (which is probably one of the most hippy/environmental cities in the US) to Perth and was scared I would not be able to find my green haven there. I have been to Perth in the past but have not experience the green side of it although I do know it’s present. Do you have any advice on what places/organizations to see? I will also be starting my job hunt so I would love to know of any green networking events that occur throughout the year. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Glad you found the blog Portia!
If you wanted to get into some green networking I would recommend: Living Smarties (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Living-Smarties-Fremantle/159461747432326), Perth Green Drinks (http://www.greendrinks.org//Perth), Perth Green Events (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Perth-Green-Events/169611719728687?ref=pb) or The Green Network (http://www.greennetwork.com.au/about).
I also find that ‘liking’ local Perth companies on Facebook is a great start (they all support each other so you’ll hear about more and more companies eventually!) – check out my Facebook page and go to my ‘likes’ for a big list of great companies and places in Perth to visit! https://www.facebook.com/EcoEmpire
Fremantle is definitely the mecca of green in Perth – heaps of great cafes and associations. Start with some raw pizza from the Raw Cafe at the Fremantle Markets and you’ll soon find more!
Hello Kat,
Thank you so much for your reply! Those links were very helpful – I can’t wait to get to Perth and start experiencing the eco-community! I would love to learn more about how you got interested in environmental issues (it’s always fascinating to hear how it all started for people) and what inspired you to write this blog! Do you have a preferred email list I can contact you by? Also, I see you are gluten free? I just recently started a gluten free lifestyle and am loving it!
Cheers
For sure! You can email me at kat.ecoempire@gmail.com
I love this, I’ve just launched my blog on wordpress and found yours. I think we have a similar approach to ethical fashion, and I wish you all the best with your blog
