The new word that has been going around or you can say is trending is “Sustainability”. So what exactly does this big word mean? Everyone likes keeping up with trends; they are, however, often unsure how to apply them for sustainable living correctly. 

So to give a dictionary meaning, ‘sustainability is anything related to the development of products like food, clothes, materials, or any services that meet our present needs without compromising the use or the ability of future generations to fulfil their own needs during their lifetime.’ Being sustainable improves our quality of life, and most importantly, it protects the ecosystem and preserves natural resources. 

Most people who hear the phrase “Sustainable Living” think it is related to the environment, but being sustainable can be explored in various forms like the Earth’s capacity, sustainability, behavioural patterns, and much more. Going sustainable is not only beneficial for a particular human being, but it also maximises benefits for the environment and our planet in the long run.

Here are some eco-friendly tips that you can follow or start including in your life little by little to live that sustainable life:

  • Making the kitchen sustainable
  • Putting together a conscious wardrobe
  • Getting a bathroom makeover
  • Using reusable products
  • Starting to recycle
  • Eating locally grown organic food
  • Buying more locally-made products

Let’s understand these steps in more detail. So what does cleaning up the kitchen mean? It is not just keeping it tidy but also making it sustainable. But how? Start with the basics of separating dry and wet waste, Keep separate dustbins and encourage every family member in the house to start separating waste. Avoid using plastics and non-biodegradable materials. Instead, use Brown Living products such as cotton bags for storing, compostable garbage bags, and even bowls made from coconut shells. Check out various other items that can be used in your kitchen.

You can also change your wardrobe; you do not have to change your fashion style, but you can reassess where you buy from. Purchase clothes that are organically produced. Avoid leather, and try to use ethically produced clothes as much as possible. The same goes with your bathroom. Brown Living has a variety of bathroom products like the orange cinnamon spa bar, natural loofah, neem wood comb, bamboo razors, and much more.

Also, another small but valuable tip is recycling, using sipper bottles, and carrying reusable steel straws, thereby avoiding bottled water packaged in plastic. Another best way is to eat naturally grown food and not food produced using chemical fertilisers. You can also start sustainable living by using locally made products like the ones listed on Brown Living. There are products ranging from pure A2 ghee and honey to household materials at affordable prices.
