Bizz and Claire chat about how doing your best doesn't mean doing everything and that creating a balance in your life is the key to sustainability.
Concepts:
- Focusing on one thing at a time
- Doing research before diving in
- Choosing to NOT do/use/have rather than finding an alternative
- Don't need to fit all your waste in a jar to be low waste
- Self care and self compassion
- Just DO. Doing something is better than nothing, even if it's small.
- Try to find the one thing with the biggest impact
- Try to find the simplest thing
- Take into consideration other people in your life when making changes
- New changes in life can mean going backward a bit
- New job, new baby, new home, etc.
Specifics:
- Public transportation
- Using it is the best way to make it better
- Strategically choosing where you live
- Size
- Location
- Efficiency
- Car share
- Cycling
- Meal planning
- Shopping for food in bulk
- Mending clothes
- Visible mending
- Compost alternatives to green bin for apartment dwellers
