About Light Living

Deanna created Light Living in 2009 to be a vehicle for natural wellness and transformation, focusing on the areas fundamental to life:  food, water and shelter.

The Mission

Light Living inspires and assists busy people to a greater level of vitality, energy and peace by focusing on organic living foods and healthier living spaces.

The Philosophy

Light Living is committed to becoming evermore environmentally responsible and balanced.  This means:

• composting food scraps from the test/home kitchen, live food events, and encouraging others to do the same
• using “real” plates and cutlery at events whenever possible
• using easily biodegradable plates, cutlery and packaging when disposables are legally required or the only real option
• working towards a “virtual” and paperless office environment (slowly but surely!)
• recognizing that ideally “reuse” comes before “recycle”
• sourcing second-hand office furniture, clothing and equipment whenever possible
• using/consuming and promoting certified organic foods and products

Light Living is committed to fostering relationships and working with others who share this passion for environmental stewardship.  This means:

• sourcing, using and promoting local organic food suppliers
• partnering with such businesses as The Better Good and Escape Sports to raise awareness of live vegan options to traditional fare
• using a web hosting service that is powered 100% with certified 100% renewable energy sources, such as wind- and solar-powered energy (thank you HostPapa.ca!)
