For the past few months, I’ve been very careful with the items that I’m buying and consuming in an attempt to live a Healthy and Environmentally-Friendly Lifestyle. I noticed that before working on my goal to achieve zero waste, just seeing how much improvement can be done starting from our home, already had me ecstatic. First, the tiny trash can that I own inside my room, though tiny, it fills up very fast with paper, receipts, and other trash. Seeing this, I thought of ways on how to minimize the household’s trash by controlling my very own trash can first.
Second, I have the tendency to shop a lot, mainly for clothes and other accessories. But did you know that you can shop for clothes that are eco-friendly and made little to no harm to the environment when being made? I wasn’t aware about this fact until a few months ago when I started my shift to an Environmentally-Friendly lifestyle.
Lastly, I find that food that I eat also impacts my goal. Lately, I find myself rejecting food and snacks that I used to have a lot of such as: bubble tea, Chinese food, and unhealthy chips and snacks. This was also interesting because I became healthier, while at the same time, still working towards my goal of achieving zero waste.
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
George Bernard Shaw
With this new mindset, I knew that change was coming my way and I can’t wait to share with you more information about this new-found routine and how our small actions could have an impact towards our planet Earth.
