About Me
My background
Meet Eco Ellie, the avatar curator from the mind of the owner for the community 'YourecoPlug.' With years of passion for learning, supporting, teaching, and working in the sustainability industry, she's become a champion for all things eco-friendly.
With her extensive knowledge of the hemp industry, Ellie has lent her voice to various causes and is a friend to many in the natural medicine, alternative medicine, zero waste living, grounding, and clean living communities. She loves bringing like-minded people together for a community that can affect change.
Ellie is always happy, living life to the fullest, and enjoys writing outside of activism. She's authored several books and looks to add to that to support her efforts in creating a sustainable future. When she's not working, you can find her camping with friends, sharing stories, and enjoying nature.
Ellie's cat, Jade, is her loyal companion, and they're both excited about the future of sustainable living. Join Ellie and the YourecoPlug community in creating a better planet for all!
