💡 What is Sustainable Living? And, Why Does Living Sustainably Matter?
Here at Grow Ensemble, we like to think about what perhaps small changes we can make in our everyday lives, that will add up to bigger, more significant changes with time.
To us, living more sustainably starts with taking an intentional look at our everyday actions.
This may be the way we get to work, the things we spend our money on, or how we spend our free time. And then seeing what small changes we can make to better care for our planet, the people around us, and our global community.
It’s these small actions we take, that can help to leave the world a more just, equitable, and habitable place for all of us, not just some of us.
Remember: living in a more ‘sustainable world’ can begin with just one small action we take to use less, give more, or connect with others.
Living Sustainably, By Buying Better
One of the easiest sustainable lifestyle changes you can make is adjusting how you ‘vote with your dollar’ on a day-to-day basis.
Whether that’s being more mindful of what (or who) you buy at the grocery store, or how you might do ‘gifting’ for family and friends during the holiday season, better buying decisions can have a ripple effect on people and our planet.
