Shared sustainable living tips

With Earth Day right around the corner (April 22nd!) I wanted to take some time to share a few things that you can add to your daily routines to live a more sustainable life. I think that it’s really important that we are conscious of how our daily habits can impact the environment. If we all make a few small changes to reduce our carbon footprint, it can make the world of a difference!

Reduced energy use at home

As a family, pick an hour (any hour!), turn off the lights, unplug the appliances, light some candles and play a game or read a book. Making this a weekly occurrence (or a daily one if you’re competitive like me … LOL!) will not only reduce your bills but as a result, you will be spending some amazing quality time with the ones you love and making some great memories ta-boot!

Turned off taps and unplugged

Did you know that simply turning off the tap while you are brushing your teeth can cut your water bill by 13%? Talk about saving the planet and money!! Do you have any appliances that are laying around your house that you don’t use daily that are plugged into your electrical outlets? Even though they aren’t being used they are still drawing power! Unplug those appliances and save that energy!!

Promoted meatless meals

If you are a meat-eater try to reduce the number of animal products that you are consuming! Not only will this be beneficial for your health but it will also reduce water consumption. Did you know that it takes roughly 1,800 gallons of water to produce 1 lb of beef?? Start slow and enjoy meatless meals on Monday!

Reused jars and containers

Any time I receive gifts in glass jars or reusable containers I LOVE to save them! Personally, I love to bring these reusable containers to refill at stores like Farmbound Zero Waste (which is here in Kelowna) or bring them to Bulk Barn. Just remember to weigh the containers before you start filling them up!!
