The plant trend has been on the rise for several years now. Young people all over the world are obsessed with decorating their apartments with unique plants. There are many reasons why this is happening: our hectic lifestyle makes plants easier to manage than pets, plants add a touch of nature to our otherwise nature less urban environment, it’s an ecological hobby, and it’s another retro thing from our childhoods. But one thing’s for certain: no one is as dedicated to plants as much as Summer Rayne Oaks.

A post shared by Plants with Summer Rayne Oakes (@homesteadbrooklyn) on

Summer (and yes, that’s her real name) is an ecological advocate, Youtube personality, author, and model who’s dedicated her life to the conservation and celebration of nature. After studying ecology at University, she went on a mission: to spread her love of nature throughout the world.

For summer, plants are not just a hobby: she has an ever-growing plant collection in her Brooklyn apartment, with over 1,000 plants! On her Youtube channel, she teaches about different plants and how to care for them. She also travels around the world, meets plant growers, goes to plant markets, and sets up plant swap parties in her neighborhood.

Summer proves that caring for plants isn’t difficult, and in fact, anybody could do it. Check out some of her plant collection – doesn’t t make you want to get your own plant?

It all started in 2012, when Environmental Studies major Lauren Singer noticed a fellow classmate would bring his lunch in a single-use plastic bag, a disposable water bottle, and a plastic takeout container.

“I would sit there and think: we are supposed to be the future of this planet and here we are with our trash, messing it up,” writes Singer. That was the moment she decided to embark on her Zero Waste journey.

Her inspiring journey is documented in her tongue-in-cheek blog Trash is for Tossers. To Singer, Zero Waste means that she does not produce any garbage whatsoever. “No sending anything to landfill, no throwing anything in a trash can, nothing. However, I do recycle and I do compost,” she explains.

And according to this NYC clean-living guru, her lifestyle can be easily adopted, being simple, cost-effective, and actually fun. You can follow her tips and tricks on her different social media platforms.

Prepare to be inspired!
