Living sustainably is a vague concept. What does 'sustianbly' even mean, right? We agree that the term can be meaningless, at it's become more of a buzzword in recent years. But let us tell you what we mean by 'sustainably'; it simply means living with intention and making conscious choices in all aspects of your life. From food, to fashion. From beauty products to transportation.
Going vegan was an individual journey for both of us, driven by different motivators but ultimately it made both of us more conscious about a lot of other aspects of our lives. Like the trash we produce, the clothes we buy and the products we put on our body. We started realizing that a lot of things, aren't made under great conditions, nor do they contain ingredients we want to absorb nor are they disposed of in the right way.
In this month's episode we share a couple aspects of our lives with you and explain how we live more sustainably when it comes to transportation, in home habits, grocery shopping, composting and more. We also chat about some of our favorite DIY projects.
By no means do we believe that it's about being perfect or that we are even close to it. But we do believe that opening your mind to all areas of your life where you produce waste or purchase things, is important because it makes you a more mindful consumer which ultimately benefits you, other humans and the planet in general. We can all make a difference, because our individual efforts compound and grow exponentially. We can all contribute to a more sustainable future.
