Welcome to Small Eco Space: Big Living with a Small Footprint

Living sustainably doesn’t require a sprawling homestead or acres of land. It starts right here, in the space you already have.

Hi! I’m Greg, and I am so glad you’re here.

If you are trying to live a greener life but feel limited by square footage, a rental agreement, or a tight budget, you are in the right place. Small Eco Space was created to prove that you don’t need a big house to make a big difference.

About the Blog

I started this site with a simple mission: to explore the intersection of small-space living and sustainability.

Whether you live in a studio apartment, a tiny home, or just a cozy bedroom, I want to help you create a home that feels spacious, peaceful, and kind to the planet.

About Me

I’m a Graphic designer / teacher / sustainability enthusiast currently living in New York City in a 600 sq ft apartment.

My journey to sustainability started when I realized my small closet was overflowing with clothes I never wore. I also wanted to live sustainable and reduce my waste footprint by reducing my food waste and using it for something, well, useful!

I am not perfect at zero-waste living (I still buy the occasional akeout coffee in a paper cup, but I believe in progress over perfection. I’m learning as I go, and I’m sharing everything I learn right here with you.
