To help you make this change, we\u2019ve compiled ten small ways to make your everyday more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go plastic free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going plastic free is more than bringing\na Bag For Life to the supermarket and remembering your reusable coffee cup. We need\nto start considering ways to forego plastic in all walks of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has never been easier to shop for plastic-free alternatives to your daily essentials. For example, switch to bar soap, use a washing-up loofah rather than a chemically dyed, yellow-green sponge and embrace a natural deodorant. Discover plenty of plastic-free alternatives at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecovibe.co.uk\/\">EcoVibe<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e42c243ad04236456ce9fda\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Single-use plastic packaging on your pasta, rice and grains can be made redundant by showing your support for local plastic-free shops or market stalls. Find your closest zero-waste shop <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerowastenear.me\/\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we support these pioneering shops then hopefully larger supermarkets will notice the consumer trend and reduce their plastic packaging. Getting supermarkets on board will hopefully make zero-waste shopping more accessible for those who can\u2019t afford the premium that can come with shopping local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it made sustainably?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying pre-loved or vintage clothes is the more sustainable option when it comes to fashion as they are already in the production cycle. Websites like <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vestiairecollective.com\/\">Vestiaire Collective<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.designerexchange.com\/\">Designer Exchange<\/a><\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardlyeverwornit.com\/\">HEWI<\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardlyeverwornit.com\/\"> <\/a>all sell pre-loved designer clothing with the added bonus of a lower price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you insist on buying\nnew then there are ways to make your wardrobe more eco-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major consideration should be what your clothes are made of. Avoid fabrics that include fibres like nylon, polyester and elastane as these contain plastics which won\u2019t biodegrade when they reach the end of their lifecycle. Not only do these fabrics release micro-plastics which find their way into your food and water, but they are created using carbon-intensive methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e42bfbcad04236456ce9a8d\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, opt for natural materials like cotton and linen which will leave a smaller impact on the planet. Linen takes the lead in terms of sustainability because flax requires less watering than cotton and grows happily on poor soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also consider manufactured fabrics like lyocell, viscose and tencel, which are all types of rayon. Rayon is created using naturally occurring wood pulp. Whilst rayon seems sustainably produced, it is chemical-treated and pulp farming can be detrimental to existing woodland. However, this will differ depending on specific fabric, for example Tencel\u2019s lyocell is markedly more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your eyes peeled for up-and-coming fabrics like Qmonos, which is made using synthetic spider silk, and vegan leather Pi\u00f1atex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cut Down on Dairy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going completely meat or dairy\nfree is seen by many as a hurdle in the path toward living more sustainably. However,\ncutting down on meat is widely considered one of the most important and\ntime-sensitive changes to make. With the abundance of meat and dairy\nalternatives on the market it\u2019s no longer quite so difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands such as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vivera.com\/\">Vivera<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/likemeat.com\/uk\/\">Like Meat<\/a><\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmeat.com\/\">Beyond Meat<\/a><\/span> have created convincing alternatives for those who can\u2019t quite ditch the steak. Similarly, with oak, soy, coconut and rice alternatives to milk, making the jump to veganism is lots easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make considered design choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to find the most sustainable\ncourse of action when designing your interiors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to buying furniture, consider your future design needs rather than purchasing for the present. For example, if you know you\u2019ll want to completely overhaul your home in the near future then buy furniture that will work then as well as now. Invest in pieces you know will suit you and your taste for years and don\u2019t be afraid to buy vintage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e42c923faf7ea301f75781a\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re redecorating from top to toe then you\u2019re in prime position to make sustainable finish choices. From carpeting made using natural, renewable resources to using non-toxic paints, there are many ways to make your renovation eco-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainably sourced energy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The choices we make as consumers\nspeak volumes, especially as there are now many green alternatives available.\nThis is even the case with energy companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many large electricity companies\nnow offer green tariffs, but finding a company that also offers green gas is\nmore challenging. As green gas is more challenging to generate, companies that advertise\nit often offer carbon-offset gas. This means that they\u2019ll invest money into\nforest regrowth to help minimise the carbon emissions of your gas usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, everyone has different priorities and budgets. This is why we suggest doing your research to find the right green energy provider for you. We recommend starting with this informative article from T3 which outlines the UK\u2019s top green energy suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go paperless \u2013 bills, bank statements etc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aiming towards zero waste is essential to living sustainably. This can start somewhere as small as switching all your bills, bank statements and general paperwork to online. Most mainstream banks offer paperless banking as an option to help you cut down on waste paper. Similarly, shops often offer an e-receipt. Going paperless means all your paperwork is organised in one place and easily searchable. It\u2019s better for the environment and will also make your life easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e42d008ad04236456cebd32\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If the majority of your post is from mailing lists and shopping magazines then it might be time to start unsubscribing. This will clear up your letterbox as well as the recycling bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Recycling Right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reducing your overall waste is\nkey to bringing a halt to our environmental impact. Opting for food with\nrecyclable packaging is a good step towards eventually living sustainably with\nzero waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many misconceptions\nabout recycling because each local council accepts different items. It is\nimportant to check as putting the wrong rubbish in your recycling bin can render\nthe whole batch useless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out what your local council accepts as recycling <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclenow.com\/local-recycling\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Switch out your light bulbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the dawn of new lighting technology comes even more energy-efficient LEDs. Typical LEDs can last up to 20 years, reducing the waste that comes from regularly replacing standard bulbs. Plus, not only do these cutting-edge bulbs last longer, but they also use far less energy. In fact, LEDs consume just one fifth of the energy of a halogen bulb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e42d247faf7ea301f7587b1\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent EU\nlaw changes mean the restocking and consequential sale of halogen bulbs is now\nbanned. If this law is followed across Europe then we could cut up to 15 million\ntonnes of carbon emissions a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering a light with integrated LEDs? Head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/integrated-leds\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the Heal\u2019s Blog<\/span><\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Cut down on travel <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst exotic holidays can be brilliant for relaxation and exploring new cultures, regular long-haul flights will leave a huge impact on the planet. Similarly, driving a car instead of using public transport will hamper your efforts to live more sustainably. If you only need to use a car occasionally, car-sharing services like Zipcar may be a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re uncertain about where you stand in terms of your carbon usage, why not try WWF&#8217;s useful <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footprint.wwf.org.uk\/#\/\">footprint calculator<\/a><\/span>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shop organic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly,\nhealthy soil stores more carbon than the atmosphere and forests. Non-organic\nfarming relies on synthetic or petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers that\ncan lead to soil erosion and chemicals entering the water system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, if the UK farming industry switched to organic then soil would absorb at least 1.3 million tonnes of carbon. To put that into perspective, that\u2019s the equivalent of taking nearly one million cars off the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e42cac5faf7ea301f757bb9\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, organic production also allows wildlife to thrive whilst reducing soil and water contamination from pesticides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of\ncourse, we are a long way off a complete switch to organic farming. But again,\nusing our power as consumers we can encourage this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to find out more?
