At first, I was skeptical of the crowdfarming concept. Now we happily buy our avocados, lemons, and oranges directly from farmers in southern Spain. These oranges taste best to our mother and make her truly happy. And us, of course. Admittedly, this isn't a blog, but this link is still relevant.

Tips on how to become more sustainable in everyday life

Besides the usual tips on saving electricity and water, here are a few that might not be so obvious or self-evident. Please don't let this put pressure on you; that's the last thing we want. Instead, let yourself be inspired and cultivate a sense of ease. Perhaps think about repairs this month, or consider energy-guzzling appliances this weekend...

• Digital sustainability: Reduce your digital footprint. Unnecessary emails, especially those with large attachments, consume energy through data transfer and storage. By cleaning up your inbox and avoiding unnecessary emails, you can reduce energy consumption.
  
  
• Repair instead of discard: Promote a culture of repair. Instead of throwing away broken items, try to repair them yourself or have them repaired. This can range from clothing to electronics and helps reduce waste and conserve resources. Sewing classes are trending. Think of the new skills you'll develop. Here in Lower Austria, we have a repair bonus. We pay half the cost.
  
  
• 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 when it comes to your pets, too. This can include buying eco-friendly pet food, using biodegradable bags for dog walks, or purchasing toys made from recycled materials.
  
  
• Community gardens and bartering: Get involved in community gardens or initiate bartering with neighbors and friends. For example, exchange homegrown vegetables, homemade food, or skills. This not only fosters community but also reduces the need for commercial products and transportation.
  
  
• Use energy-efficient appliances: Invest in energy-efficient household appliances and light bulbs to reduce electricity consumption.
  
  
• Use public transport and carpool: Reduce your CO2 emissions by driving less and using public transport or carpooling instead. Consider the opportunities this creates. On the train, you can catch up on sleep, daydream, gaze 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 in your area.
  
  
• Consume less meat: Meat production is resource-intensive. A plant-based diet can significantly reduce environmental impact.
  
  
• Use reusable containers: Avoid single-use plastics and use reusable bags, bottles, and containers instead. And please put them back in your car or bike basket immediately. We've all been there: standing at the checkout, knowing exactly where we left our folded shopping bags at home.
  
  
• Recycling and composting: Separate your waste and compost organic waste to reduce the amount of waste and enrich the soil. And yes, you can reconsider your decision in the summer. And yes, sometimes you end up breeding fruit flies and other pests. Sprinklering zeolite on top helps with that. Zeolite and basalt also give compost a real boost. Have you heard of the WURMKSTE? Here, organic waste is transformed into wonderful worm castings.
  
  
• Saving water: Install water-saving faucets and take shorter showers to reduce water consumption.
  
  
• Second-hand and swapping: Prefer 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 you throw something away, consider whether you can transform it into something new. Upcycling fosters creativity and reduces waste.
  
  
• Green thumb: Start gardening, even if it's just small pots of herbs on the 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 such as vinegar, baking soda, and citric acid. You can also use zeolite and microorganisms.
  
  
• Switch off power-hungry devices: Disconnect devices that are not in use from the mains to avoid standby consumption.
  
  
• Green hosting for websites: If you run a website, choose a hosting provider that uses renewable energy sources.
  
  
• CO2 compensation: If you have to fly, invest in CO2 compensation projects to offset your ecological footprint.
  
  
• Sustainable mobility: Consider purchasing an electric vehicle or bicycle and use the bicycle or walk for shorter distances.

Sustainability in everyday life is an achievable goal, and these blogs and tips can help you make informed choices.
