Loads of people wonder why sustainable living is important. Everyone’s sustainable journey should be a personal one. There’s no right or wrong way to start, although it is vital to remember every little step counts. Your eco-friendly lifestyle shouldn’t feel like a burden, try not to overwhelm yourself and focus on the journey. Here are 5 simple ways to be more sustainable!
Buy eco-friendly cleaning products
Consumers have become more and more concerned about what they clean their homes with. Regular cleaning products contain load of chemicals and customers opt to buy plant-based products or even make their own. Don’t throw away plastic spray bottles – a multi-purpose spray can be made by mixing vinegar, lemon, baking soda and water.
If you’re not in the mood to make cleaning supplies, there are brands that produce eco-friendly, sustainable alternatives to regular cleaners that you can be easily found in the supermarket.
Use public transportation
A simple lifestyle changes a lot of people forget about is switching to public transportation. Ditching the car and using a bus, tram, or underground can reduce harmful CO2 emissions. The use of public transportation reduces the carbon footprint and conserves energy by eliminating travel that would have otherwise been made in a private vehicle.
Bring your own reusables
One of the easiest ways to start your eco-friendly lifestyle starts before you leave your home. If you’re going to the supermarket, don’t buy a plastic bag – bring a reusable one with you. Carry a reusable water bottle and fill it at restaurants and cafes – they’re not going to say no to you. Food containers are a life saver – when you have leftovers at a restaurant, ask them to put the food in your container rather than using a plastic one.
