Sustainable - Blog Posts
Climate change is such a huge problem, that is so underrepresented for the amount of harm it causes. The actual change in the temperature, extreme weather events, change in what we’re able to farm. If we ignore this issue, we’re ignoring the fact that we’re slowly destroying ourselves. We can’t ignore it. Yes, the major issue is big corporations, but we are the demand to their supply. We can make a change. Even little changes is something, it does help. Work to make a difference, work to be aware. Don’t ignore the problem, for the sake of our Earth.
psa : don’t throw out things you need in the process of becoming more minimalistic just because they don’t fit your standards anymore. use what you have, that’s what sustainability is all about
gentle ways to help the earth
• bring your own bags to the market
• always recycle (simple but very effective)
•use a menstrual cup (goddesses, TRUST me)
• use a reusable water bottle
• use the same towel more than once (i typically pick one towel and use it for my shower for a week instead of using a different one every day) EDIT: yes, a LOT of people use a different towel everyday, i’ve been getting a lot of comments about this..
• unplug everything (instead of just turning off the lamp, unplug it)
• if you see trash, pick it up
• go thrifting
• donate (clothes, furniture, shoes, etc.)
• skip the paper receipt and get it sent to your email instead
• buy local
• open the windows instead of using a/c
• fill your house with plants
This is for all the coffee drinkers out there!

Because I’m an apartment dweller, I decided to try this compost bin DIY out of an old litter pail I was waiting to recycle! I drilled multiple holes in it, and the lid seals to keep my two feline monsters out of it! The pile is small, but so is my garden. I’m slowly working towards self sustainability!
