SUSTAINABLE TIPS

Easy tips to lead a more sustainable life.

1. Avoid generating waste

It is estimated that by 2022, 400 million tons of plastic bottles will have been used worldwide. If we want to prevent the generation of waste from continuing to grow, it is best to use clothes bags, bottles and portable thermos made of glass or stainless steel, tupperware, etc. Do not use disposable plastic containers. The reusable comes out cheaper, cleaner and healthier!

2. Don’t waste more water than you need.

It’s easy to think about turning off the tap when you soap, taking a shower instead of bathing, or taking advantage of the water that would go down the drain to water the plants.
It may seem like typical advice, but do you apply it?
Have you seen the results? Use them always and get used to saving water!

3. Consume with conscience.

Conscious consumption will have an impact on your lifestyle and market demands. You can apply it to almost any form of consumption.
When eating food, look for local or organic products.
If you like clothes, compare them with natural fiber and sell or give away the ones you don’t want anymore instead of throwing them away. You can also cut down on meat consumption, waste tons of water!

4. He travels with his head.

On regular journeys, whenever possible, it is better to travel by bike or public transport, it is more sustainable and cheaper. When planning your holidays, prioritize taking trains over low-cost, short-haul planes. A return flight less per year per person will reduce 1. 9 tons of CO2.

Rest from electricity!

We don’t want you to live like two centuries ago, but you can reduce your power and digital consumption in ways that are beneficial to your health.
How?

Turn off the lights whenever you can and take advantage of the sunlight, it’s better for your mood!

Buy energy-saving light bulbs for all the lights in your home and try to use appliances during low-power hours, when electricity is cheaper. You spend less energy and can reduce your electricity bill significantly.

You can also hire renewable energy companies, in Spain there are several and they are not more expensive than the usual ones.

Rest from the screens. An email with 1MB emits 19 g of CO2. And according to Greenpeace, 7% of the energy consumed is due to digital demand.

To disconnect a bit is to live more sustainably and healthily!
