Small Lifestyle Changes That Are Beneficial for The Environment
The previous decade introduced us to some great culinary practices, vegan foods, comfy fashion choices, and whatnot. Another trend that remained quite popular among progressives was sustainability. The earth needs us more than ever! It took us some time, but we’ve finally cracked the code leading us to ways sustainability can become a priority in our everyday lives.
The go-to mottos of a sustainable lifestyle are cutting down on over-consumption and overproduction. These would vehemently fuel the much-needed practices of upscaling, recycling, and reusing manufactured products to become more sustainable. Over-consumption is what leads to over-production. Over-production adds to the waste in the seas and the land. The more the waste, the more it waste accumulates, and the more time it takes to decompose. The process adds gravely to the average land and water pollution numbers.
Small lifestyle changes can go a long way in reaching a sustainable lifestyle. A small act of trying to give up the use of SUPs (Single-use plastics) can have incredibly positive effects on the ecosystem.
Begin your sustainable lifestyle journey with us at Sammy Shopping Bags. Our range of eco-friendly shopping bags includes reusable grocery bags and wholesale shopping bags for your everyday errands.
Here are a few lifestyle changes beneficial to the environment.
Switch to Bamboo Tooth Brushes
Bamboo toothbrushes are long brushes made of bamboo wood that work as a replacement for your plastic toothbrushes. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends changing your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months.
This means you dispose of your plastic toothbrushes around 4 to 5 times a year. Switching to bamboo brushes would be an easy-to-adopt lifestyle change. Bamboo brushes are a favorite among dentists for their fine bristles. Bamboo toothbrushes are a win-win situation in terms of brush quality and their usage.
Plocka Upp!
Plocka upp is the Swedish version of “pick up”. Plogging is another term quite popular these days for all the right reasons! The word “plogging” was first used by Erik Ahlstrom. The concept simply means to pick up trash while jogging. While you can introduce this as an interesting activity, it could easily slide into your every walk and jogging routine. All you need to do is pick up trash when you spot it in areas you jog, walk or run. This place could be the roads, the community park, or your backyard!
Use Reusable Cotton Mesh Bags
It’s time you bid goodbye to polythene plastic bags and begin using eco-friendly reusable bags. They are most easily available at Sammy Shopping Bags and are way more comfortable to manage and carry than the plastic bags we use for our daily errands. Organic cotton mesh bags are the perfect pick for everyday grocery shopping.
