find out how you could decrease your environmental impact
food
from cutting meat to becoming a full-on vegan, and making sure I buy local, sustainable products, there is plenty i can do!
moving
i use public transport from a to b as much as possible. It's expensive at first, but i will work hard to acquire an electric vehicle if i can't do without a car.
i prefer videoconferencing to flying, i prefer train over plane if it comes to that. more...
citizenship
maybe i support environmental charities?
if i engage in politics, whatever the party, i make sure the environment is high on the agenda.
i set my browser to use ecosia, en environmentally friendly search engine.
energy
i insulate my house, i turn lights off, i adjust my thermostat and program my heating system, sometimes i wear two jumpers!
i choose a renewable electricity provider. if i can afford it, i install solar panels.
goods
do i really need to buy that?maybe i really don't. i avoid plastic if possible. i use a fairphone, wooden toothbrushes, i use discarded cardboxes instead of bags at supermarkets. i think 'repair' before 'replace'. more details...
sharing
i love the earth, i talk about it to my neighbours and friends.
i tell my children about nature, i involve the local school, i share recipes on social media or i just wear a t-shirt that says i am vegan.
