10 Ways To Live An Eco-Friendly Lifestyle

Going green basically means living a sustainable lifestyle or choosing to make more eco conscious choices. Here’s everything you need to go green and live a more sustainable lifestyle.

What Does Going Green Mean?

Going green means being more eco conscious and changing your lifestyle to reduce your overall impact on the planet. When you go green, you become more environmentally aware and recognize the choices you make have some kind of impact on the planet.

REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE

Do a trash audit to see where you stand on trash. Did you find a lot of plastic cups? This will help you see what areas you need to pinpoint and make changes to. Start with the big four: Water bottles, plastic bags, straws and takeaway coffee cups.

EAT A PLANT BASED DIET

Eating more plants instead of animal products can result in lower emissions. A vegan diet can reduce climate heating emissions by 75% compared to a diet that includes animal products. A whole-foods approach to a vegan diet is best.

DRIVE LESS

Most cars still use internal combustion engines (ICE), which means they run on fossil fuels. When these gases leave your tailpipe, they contribute to climate change. Simply driving less can cut down on your carbon footprint.

STOP SUPPORTING  FAST FASHION

According to the British Fashion Council, we have enough clothing on the planet to dress six generations. Yet, every second, the equivalent of a trash truck load of clothes is burnt or buried in a landfill.
