About the Eco City Mama


The ECM is Tamera Kremer, a first time mom. I run my own digital consultancy in Toronto, am opinionated, and have been a city girl (Toronto & L.A.) my whole life. These are my journeys in balancing my work, life, and eco-passion while raising twins. I'm sure I'll fail more than I'll succeed, but I'm looking forward to every minute of it (well, maybe not *every* minute...).

Who am I? Why am I here?

And so begins the obligatory “Hello World!” post on this newly minted site :)

I don’t claim to be the end all be all of eco-living. I also don’t claim to be a super mom, or a tres chic mom (most of the time..), in fact as of this moment I’m not technically a mom since I’m just over 6-months. I’m just me, Tamera, preggers with twins for the first time at age 35, living back in my hometown of Toronto, ON with my S.O. and my pooch, and running a strategic digital consultancy. I’m also involved with the sustainable movement in Toronto and founded SustainabilityCamp, an unconference that had its inaugural event in mid-November this year.

I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to be the perfect “organic” mom to the twinjas, but I’m going to do my best to keep the planet in mind while I go. Hopefully I can share some of my successes and my challenges, and some tips and resources for raising kids environmentally-friendly and aware from the start, while also giving myself a wee place to vent too :)

I would love to hear from you, the interwebs, too and if you have any tips or resources for being sustainable, please feel free to share! We’re all on this planet together after all & I *know* I don’t have all the answers!

Cheers,
Tamera

Tamera,
Congratulations! Have you hooked up with the Multiple Birth Association http://www.multiplebirthscanada.org/english/index.php They usually have clothing and baby stuff sales & since most of it would be used it would fit the eco theme. My other suggestion is to just register for the necessities. Much of the stuff that is out there is unnecessary & is just part of a consumer baby market and it is wild what gets marketed to parents.

@Eden – thanks chica! :)

@Shawna – haven’t hooked up with them yet, just actually submitted my app for TPOMBA today so hopefully I’ll get some details on sales and such soon – thanks for the tips on the other assoc tho’, I’ll definitely have to check that out too!

I hear you on the unnecessary part – I am shocked at how much “stuff” is on the market. It’s pretty over-whelming, so I’m just trying to rely on common sense: clothes, love, books, music, mobiles, feeding & bathing necessities, and then the essential furniture, etc!
