Behind the Blog


I'm O2L, and I love the world we are in. I'm also a climate activist who speaks for the environment and the natural world we live in. Apart from nature wat I also love is gardening and animals, so I also keep a lot of pets and spend a lot of time with them. I explore alternative ways of living sustainably in harmony with nature, my gardening initiative is also a part of that. I also upload about my pets and their crazy adventure. I also feature about my garden and how everything in my garden is producing and benefiting the world.
