Sifo recently published a very reader-friendly report on what we as consumers can do to live more sustainable in terms of our transportation-, agriculture-, heating-, clothing- and plastic consumption.
There are three main takeaways to how we can live more sustainable:
1. Replace a product with one with less environmental impact 💚
2. Change the way we consume
3. Reduce the amount we consume
Valuable tools that has proven useful in the long term to achieve this are:
- education on what is more sustainable 🎓
- knowledge on how to look after something📚
- Practical skills on how to repair f.ex clothes 🪡🧵
Structural changes is also needed from the authorities to make it easier for consumers to make these sustainable choices. ⚖️ ♻️ A combination of both individual choices and a society that makes it easier to choose the greener option is necessary. 🌱
I used this picture to illustrate this, because of the long lives of the garments I’m wearing. The hat is from at least 2012, the scarf🧣 is from 2016 and the jacket is borrowed for the occasion of a skiing trip from my mum! 🥰 I know it’s a very individual journey on the way to becoming more sustainable, and we are all at different stages on your journey, but we can find inspiration from each other and cheer each other forward ✨ It’s all the little choices that adds up to the whole 🌏
