Adopting sustainable practices is easier said than done and it is just as easy to give the excuse that it is too expensive and inconvenient. For those of you looking for the solution to fix this, the makers of Illytini have some tips for you. Here’s a guide to developing sustainable practices, on a budget….
Upcycling Clothes: We all love new clothes, express yourself without supporting fast fashion without breaking your wallet. Find local thrift stores, artists who upcycle clothes, and attend clothing swaps. These affordable places and events will support local businesses and create a sustainable way to update your wardrobe.
Meal Prep: Tired of cooking right after work, or ordering take-out? Repurpose your containers and prepare your meals for the week. Make a day to cook all your meals for when you are too tired.
Transportation: We all know gas prices have been becoming more and more of a hindrance. Instead split the cost by carpooling to work, taking public transportation, or possibly bike to work.
Recycle and Compost: Create a recycling bin in your home to do your part for the planet. Better yet, have a lot of plants or think of starting a garden? Starting a compost bin will provide the fresh soil they need to thrive.
Advocate for change: Engage in conversation about sustainable practices your community can start to implement. Help create the change you want to see…
Keep in mind that sustainability is about progress, not perfection.
Express your creativity, engage in your community and enjoy your beloved Illytini with the knowledge that you're doing good for the environment and your health by implementing these practices into your life.
