Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an
individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources, and one's
personal resources. Its practitioners aim to conduct their lives in ways
that are consistent with sustainability, naturally balanced, and
respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural
ecology. Here you will see ten tips you can try to get a more sustainable
life. Enjoy!
π» Keep informed
Keep informed about the problems the planet is facing and solutions
around the same.
πΈ Use what you already have
Donβt buy more stuff if you donβt need it or already have something
that can work just fine!
π¦ Use reusable water bottles
Use metal or glass water bottles throughout the day for water or
coffee.
π Minimize food waste
Revive leftovers, repurpose food scraps into jams and sauces, and
stretch your food budget by meal planning.
π Avoid food in packaging
Buy as much in bulk as you can. A zero waste pantry reduces so much
plastic and cardboard waste.
β»οΈ Recycle Everything You Can
All unbroken glass, some plastics, paper and cardboard, tin and
aluminium cans.
ππ» Tampons and period pads
Swap to a menstrual cup, reusable liner pads and absorbent period
panties.
π΄ Use alternative means of transport
Instead of driving your car opt for transportation alternatives: car
pool, public transport, or a bicycle.
π Buy second hand
Make an adventure out of hunting down super stylish second hand
clothing, whether in person or via online thrift stores.
π² Apps can be helpfull
Currently there are apps that allow you to save food surpluses and
locate community composters, among others.
