Have you made any New Year\u2019s Resolutions? Have you already given them up? Although they are stereotypically impossible to keep, this year I am challenging everyone to make 2 or 3 February resolutions related to the environment. February is the shortest month of the year, so it\u2019s the perfect time to challenge yourself to do something new. Check out these 9 ideas for living a more environmentally friendly year, try some out this February, and then stick with them!<\/p>\n\n
The first three options are \u2013 SURPRISE! \u2013 about shopping<\/p>\n\n
1. Don\u2019t shop until you\u2019ve looked for a sustainable option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
I made this resolution over a year ago and I was shocked by how difficult it was to find sustainable products. It was this struggle that motivated me to start my website so I could help others overcome this issue. For the past year, whenever I need to buy something new, I have forced myself to research sustainable options first before going to Amazon, Target, etc. My personal needs often motivate my article choices. So, before you click purchase (because everything seems to be online these days), pause and check out my website or do a quick search to see if there is a more sustainable alternative. We live in an economy spurred by the overconsumption of goods.<\/p>\n\n
2. Pause before you buy and ask, do I really need this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
This resolution will not only help the environment, it will also help your wallet. We all know how exciting it is to get a package delivered with a new purchase, but the fast fashion industry is also extremely bad for the environment. So, make a conscious effort this year to buy everything with purpose. We all splurge on items we don\u2019t need on occasion, it\u2019s natural, but we should still be aware of how these purchasing decisions impact the environment.<\/p>\n\n
3. Try out a thrift store.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Your wallet will thank me. Thrift stores\/consignment shops are often overlooked, but they can have some hidden treasures that are a fraction of their market value. Or better yet, consign some of your clothes at a consignment\/thrift store. You\u2019ll get some cash and give your old clothes a new life.<\/p>\n\n
4. Try out reusable grocery bags AND reusable produce bags.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
This is such an easy alternative to using the single use plastic bags available at grocery stores. Plus, they\u2019re way more durable so you don\u2019t have to worry about your bags breaking with your heavy groceries.\u00a0 Check out my favorite brand here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n
