Callee Ackland grew up on the west coast in Oregon, where she learned the importance of sustainability. After serving in the Navy, Callee chose van life as a sustainable travel option. Since then, Callee has seen most of the United States , and plans to continue her travels in her 2014 Ram Promaster campervan.
She’s now also an eco-entrepreneur + zero waste activist. She’s the owner of a Zero Waste Store Bestowed Essentials, a line of sustainable home goods with an online shop + a retail storefront in Rapid City, South Dakota.
We talked all about having more travel in life through sustainable lifestyle choices with a smaller carbon footprint and how to implement eco-friendly practices. If you want to make better and smarter choices, this is a fantastic conversation with Callee!
“It’s important no matter what you do, no matter what your hobby is, to do it in the most eco-friendly way possible.”
