OTHER WAYS TO BE SUSTAINABLE IF YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO SPEND RANDS
Many people may feel stuck when it comes to living sustainably. They look at all of the eco-conscious products marketed AT THEM, and then they look at the price tags and realise it’s just not affordable.
The good news is…the most sustainable and earth-friendly decisions you can make go far beyond what you buy!
➤ Consume less & dispose of less
➤ Reuse and upcycle what you have as much as possible
➤Go second hand and thrifting!
➤Stop using plastic wherever you can and replace it with a non-plastic eco-friendly alternative that can be reused
➤Stop the dependency on single-use items
➤Bring reusable bags when shopping
➤Use products that have a waterless option, such as shampoo bars, as opposed to plastic bottles filled with heavy ingredients that require a lot of energy to manufacture and transport
➤Support sustainable businesses when you can
➤Reduce water and energy usage any way you can
➤Eat less meat ( you don’t have to go vegan, but it is a fact that eating less meat is better for the environment!)
➤Go paperless whenever possible
➤Clean up the earth; whether it be volunteering or simply picking up trash you see when you are out and about
