Description

Sustainability is more important than ever. In this section we’ll consider how you can be more sustainable in your every day lifestyle, including topics such as zero waste living and reducing your carbon footprint as well as what changes those of you looking to make a drastic shift, such as living off the grid, can take.

Although some of the hugely impactful sustainable lifestyle changes such as recycling and cutting littering many people are already making, we’ll consider what further steps we could all make that will save the planet, such as:

  • Reducing water usage
  • Having a sustainable diet
  • Growing a garden
  • Reducing energy usage
  • Installing renewable energy at-home
  • And more!
