What are the first steps to start living sustainably?
Begin with small changes like using reusable bags, bottles, and containers.
Gradually incorporate more sustainable practices such as composting and buying in bulk to minimise packaging waste.
Solar panels, heat pumps, and geothermal heating are popular renewable energy sources for homes.
Each option has its benefits, and the choice depends on your location and budget.
Insulate your home, use energy-efficient appliances, like infrared panel heaters and switch to LED lighting.
Consider installing smart thermostats to optimise heating and cooling.
Shop at local farmers’ markets, choose products with eco-friendly certifications, and support businesses that prioritise sustainability in their operations.
Opt for public transportation, stay in eco-friendly accommodations, and support local communities by purchasing locally-made products and services.
Gradually eliminate single-use items, invest in reusable alternatives, and focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling as much as possible.
