Tips on how to become more sustainable in everyday life

In addition to the usual tips on saving electricity and water, here are a few tips that may not be so obvious or self-evident. Please don't let them put pressure on you; that's the last thing we want. Instead, let them inspire you and develop a sense of ease. Maybe think about repairs this month, think about energy-guzzling appliances this weekend...

• Digital sustainability: Reduce your digital footprint. Unnecessary emails, especially those with large attachments, consume energy through data transmission and storage. By decluttering your inbox and avoiding unnecessary emails, you can reduce energy consumption.
  
  
• Repair instead of throwing away: Promote a culture of repair. Instead of throwing away broken items, try to repair them or have them repaired. This can range from clothing to electronics and helps reduce waste and conserve resources. Sewing courses are trending. Think about the new skills you'll develop along the way. Here in Lower Austria, we have a repair bonus. We pay half.
  
  
• Sustainable investments: Review your investments. Invest in green funds or companies committed to sustainability. Your financial support can help promote environmentally friendly projects and initiatives.
  
  
• Eco-friendly pet care: Consider sustainability for your pets, too. This could include purchasing eco-friendly pet food, using biodegradable bags for dog walks, or buying toys made from recycled materials.
  
  
• Community gardens and bartering: Get involved in community gardens or initiate bartering with neighbors and friends. Exchange homegrown vegetables, homemade food, or skills, for example. This not only fosters community but also reduces the need for commercial products and transportation.
  
  
• Use energy-efficient appliances: Invest in energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs to reduce electricity consumption.
  
  
• Use public transportation and carpooling: Reduce your CO2 emissions by driving less and using public transportation or carpooling instead. Consider the opportunities this creates. On the train, you can catch up on sleep, contemplate, gaze up at the sky, read your favorite book, and ignore speed limits.
  
  
• Buy regional and seasonal food: Support local farmers and reduce your carbon footprint by choosing food that is grown and produced locally.
  
  
• Consume less meat: Meat production is resource-intensive. A plant-based diet can significantly reduce environmental impact.
  
  
• Use reusable containers: Avoid single-use plastic and use reusable bags, bottles, and containers instead. And please return them to your car or bike basket immediately. Who knows that feeling? Standing at the checkout and knowing exactly where your folded shopping bags are at home.
  
  
• Recycling and composting: Separate your waste and compost organic waste to reduce waste and enrich the soil. And yes, you can reconsider your decision in the summer. And yes, sometimes you breed fruit flies and the like. Adding zeolite to the compost can help with that. Zeolite and basalt also give the compost a real boost. Do you know the WURMKSTE (worm box)? Here, organic waste is transformed into wonderful worm humus.
  
  
• Save water: Install water-saving fixtures and take shorter showers to reduce water consumption.
  
  
• Second-hand and swapping: Prioritize second-hand clothing and household items or organize swap parties to reduce the consumption of new products.
  
  
• Sustainable investments: Invest your money in sustainable funds and companies that make a positive contribution to the environment. Monitor energy consumption: Use smart home technologies or simple monitoring tools to monitor and reduce your energy consumption at home.
  
  
• Go paperless: Try using digital documents instead of printed copies and use apps for notes and lists to minimize paper consumption.
  
  
• Upcycling: Before throwing something away, consider whether you can transform it into something new. Upcycling encourages creativity and reduces waste.
  
  
• Green Thumb: Start gardening, even if it's just small pots of herbs on your windowsill. Plants help purify the air, and gardening can be very satisfying.
  
  
• Sustainable cleaning products: Use environmentally friendly cleaning products or make your own from natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and citric acid. Also consider using zeolite and microorganisms.
  
  
• Turn off power guzzlers: Unplug devices that are not in use to avoid standby consumption.
  
  
• Green website hosting: If you run a website, choose a hosting provider that uses renewable energy sources.
  
  
• Carbon offsetting: If you must fly, invest in carbon offsetting projects to offset your carbon footprint.
  
  
• Sustainable mobility: Consider purchasing an electric vehicle or bicycle and use a bicycle or walk for shorter distances.

Conclusion:

Sustainability in everyday life is an achievable goal, and these blogs and tips can help you make informed decisions. By making small changes in your daily life and creatively using products like zeolite, you can make a big contribution to protecting the environment. Take the first step toward a greener lifestyle!
