Earth Day: 10 things that help me every day to not be an environmental pig

Don’t be an environmental pig? This is not so easy. I thought. Until I discovered these 10 lifesavers and above all worldsavers for myself! And so living sustainably is suddenly fun…

Living sustainably – that seems boring to many. Unfortunately, much that has to do with the topic of sustainability still has a dusty image. Above all, it sounds like renunciation, restrictions, inconvenience.

To be honest, this way of thinking is pretty old-fashioned. You notice that at the latest when you take a look around in your own household. Because in the meantime, many things that make up a sustainable life have already quietly and secretly entered our everyday lives. And they are not dusty at all, in fact quite lovable. Bet you don’t want to be without some of them anymore?

I looked around to see what makes it easier for me to live sustainably in everyday life. And found that most of these things and habits actually put me in a pretty good mood! This is not only due to the lack of a guilty conscience, but also because they are fun. Yes, really!

Yes, living sustainably can be fun!

For me, living sustainably means dealing with your environment more consciously. I like that. Suddenly I appreciate regional products much more and I’m happy like a proud mother when the spring onions on my balcony actually start to sprout. Because that can also mean a sustainable life: I have learned that the stalk of spring onions does not have to end up in the garbage, but rather in the flower pot. It simply grows back there. And tada – after a short time you can actually harvest a fresh onion again!

In the meantime, a whole lot of things and habits have moved into my life that make it a bit more sustainable. And that without major sacrifices or unpleasant restrictions. How it works?
