Three Tips For Sustainable Living

While the state of the planet and the environment can sometimes seem a little scary, there are always sustainable living tips that you can start doing to make the natural world a healthier place. All it takes is one person to start taking small actions to set of a bigger chain of events and really make a difference.

Here are a few sustainable living tips that you can do in order to become more green in your everyday llife.

Recycle

This one seems obvious, but Australians could still be making more an attempt to recycle many of their goods. Do you put each and every plastic bottle you use in the recycling bin, or do you sometimes throw it away in the normal rubbish collection? Make an effort to put each bottle into the correct receptacle, as the materials in plastic bottles can be reused to create other eco friendly products such as reusable shopping bags. Now that’s a win for the environment!

Reduce waste first

Now that doesn’t mean you should simply use all the plastic you can so long as you recycle it all. As a first point of call, it’s always a good idea to reduce the amount you’re actually buying or using. If you purchase bottled water regularly, consider switching to a stainless steel water bottle instead so that you can refill it and keep it for a long time, rather than throwing it away after a single use.

Get thrifty

Over the years junk and things that we don’t really use or value can easily accumulate. Why not do a spring clean in your house and haul out all your hidden treasures? See what you can still use for yourself, what you might want to sell, recycle or donate to a local charity. Get creative – perhaps an old table will look just great with a fresh coat of paint!
