Sustainability Made Simple

Saving Time, Saving Money, and Saving the Planet all at once … SIGN ME UP!


As we breeze into Springtime and giggle past April Fools Day into Earth Month, I anchor my personal story and messaging around simple and thoughtful ways to care for our dear planet. Ever since I was a little child, I’ve shared deep empathy for the natural world around me … whether it was planting trees to preserve the Amazon, adopting endangered species through monthly giving, leading community cleanup and recycling initiatives, or pushing every single municipality from DC to France, Miami to California to implement climate forward programs, living consciously has played an integral role in my upbringing. I even wrote my college design thesis “Sustainability For Dummies: Going Green, Starts at Home.”  


Atop being very climate-conscious and earthly sensitive, I am also a 21st Century American who is accustomed to certain standards of living, creature comforts, and quality of life. Making even simple changes in habits and patterns can be daunting, challenging, and bewildering. Like getting an electric car, for example … I really have no idea why I haven’t been able to make the switch yet, the charging stations are FREE, the government pays you $7500, and there are so many options available, it’s a no brainer (yet still paying enormously at the pump). Honestly, even preaching my own gospel is only feasible if it’s A] convenient B] affordable and C] easy. Like going zero-waste, carbon-neutral, not having to run errands or clip coupons to save cash on common household necessities. If only there was an answer to that simple conundrum …

… Meet The Rounds 

The Rounds is a conscious brand, recently launched in Philadelphia, Washington DC, and now Miami. They offer exactly what I had wished above … zero-waste, carbon-neutral, common household goods AND local favorites, home delivery service … on electric bikes (geeking out right now) … making literally all of your standard essentials available at wholesale prices without having to go to the store! Essentials like dish & hand soap, laundry detergent, body lotion, glass cleaner, dog treats, pasta, olive oil, cereal, coffee, local bread and pastries, matcha, and so on. Basically, relinquishing my dependence on Big Corporate, fossil fuels, and most importantly packaging waste without impacting my bank account at all. My choice to switch to The Rounds for all of my necessities is a legit NO BRAINER. 

Being so aligned with my values and interests is exactly what motivates me as a consumer and a businessman. I first was introduced to The Rounds through my social media influencer colleagues; all hired to promote the launch of The Rounds in their respective cities, all of who referred them to me. They were seeking influencer and PR partners to help bring their conscious brand to quality and like-minded consumers in Miami and naturally fell into my world. I was humbled when they approached me to help promote this meaningful launch, being as their mission and my values are so succinct. With all of my business relationships, authenticity is essential to fostering a successful outcome. It is with immense pleasure to work with The Rounds and share my story, experience, and recommendations with each and every one of you.

If you live in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Miami, or Atlanta (more cities to come), I highly recommend trying The Rounds out for yourselves … it’s zero-risk with NO MEMBERSHIP FEE and COMP PRODUCT using my special code: TIMUR

Make no mistake, it is not easy to make lifestyle changes, however when it saves you time, money, and the planet, with no risk, going zero-waste this Earth Month is an easy step towards a climate-first future.
