Gentle, realistic habits I try to practice to live a little more sustainably in the long-term.
I keep cute, practical reusables items on hand llike shopping/grocery bags, micro-fibre cloths. etc on hand so I never rely on single-use items.
Use reusable items wherever possible
Quick showers, turning off the tap while brushing, and collecting water for plants. Some small habits feel calm and intentional.
Use water mindfully
Choosing refillable and cruelty-free products, and using multipurpose items to reduce waste.
Using eco-friendly products and beauty swaps
Buying less and build a capsule wardrobe, opting for quality over quantity, and loving second-hand or vintage pieces.
Making conscious wardrobe choices
Gifting, donating, recycling or selling items I no longer use every seasoon. Add organizing the rest of the house.
Organizing and de-cluttering with purpose
Journaling, note-taking, and lists in a reusable notebook or digital planner to save paper, and opting for digital bank statements, bills, and subscriptions to minimize paper wastage.
Mindful paper use
Refilling soaps, shampoos, and cleaning products whenever possible to cut down single-use packaging, and reusing old containers for storage, and organizing.
Refill, and reuse regularly
Conserving energy by switching off lights when leaving a room and unplugging devices like chargers, and heavy appliances when not in use
Turn off lights and unplug electronics
Investing in timeless pieces, building a capsule wardrobe, thrifting, or swapping clothes instead of relying on fast fashion.
