Sustainable Living
A sustainable lifestyle concerns itself with living lightly on the earth. Some things that we all can do to live a more sustainable life are:
-
create minimal waste
-
recycle as much waste as possible
-
be aware of the carbon footprint of the things we buy
-
support small business
-
be mindful of our energy consumption,
-
choose fresh local foods
-
choose transportation that is low in environmental pollutants
-
grow our own food
​
Growing your own food is a great first step to self-sufficiency. Once on this path, other steps will follow naturally.
There are many resources for living a more sustainable life. Almost every magazine at the grocery checkout seems to have suggestions.
Be cautious of “green washing”, a business that claims that it is helpful to the environment but actually is not.
