Easy Tips for Living Sustainably Every Day!

Living sustainably is easier than you think! Here are some simple tips to incorporate into your daily routine.

FASHION FRIENDLY

1. Make Sustainable Fashion Choices:
Opt for circular fashion by buying from sustainable brands, thrifting, or renting clothes. The idea of clothing designed for longevity and recyclability is becoming increasingly popular, encouraging consumers to reduce their fashion footprint.

2. Participate in Community Swaps:
Engage in community events where people exchange items they no longer need, promoting reuse and reducing waste. This trend fosters a sense of community while supporting sustainable practices. Can’t find one near you? Host your own! Call up friends and family to get together to swap amongst yourselves – this works particularly well as a clothing exchange!

3. Upcycle Old Clothes into Reusable Items:
Turn old clothes into reusable wax food wraps or shopping bags instead of throwing them away. This practice is gaining traction as it not only reduces textile waste but also creates functional items for daily use.

KITCHEN LOVE

4. Support Local Farmers:
Buying produce from local farmers’ markets reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and supports the local economy. This trend aligns with the growing interest in supporting sustainable agriculture.

5. Reduce Meat Consumption:
Adopting a plant-based diet or reducing meat intake is one of the most effective ways to lower your carbon footprint. This dietary shift is becoming more popular as awareness of its environmental benefits grows.

6. Create a Zero-Waste Kitchen:
Reduce food waste by composting organic scraps, planning meals ahead, and using reusable containers instead of plastic. The zero-waste kitchen movement encourages minimal packaging and DIY cleaning products.

7. Reuse Peanut Butter (and other!) Jars:
Instead of discarding old peanut butter jars, scrape the sides to make peanut sauce, and then reuse the jars for storage. This not only reduces food waste but also promotes the reuse of containers.

AROUND THE HOUSE

8. DIY Home Repairs:
Learning basic repair skills helps reduce the need for professional services, which saves money and resources. This is part of a broader trend towards self-sufficiency and sustainable living.

9. Use Solar-Powered Chargers:
With the rise in renewable energy, using solar-powered chargers for gadgets is becoming a popular way to reduce reliance on conventional electricity.

10. Install Smart Thermostats:
Regulate home temperatures efficiently with programmable thermostats to conserve energy. This trend is part of the broader push for eco-friendly home automation.
