Have you ever thought about what advanced sustainability might entail? You’ve already transitioned to driving electric, installed solar panels, and adopted a plant-based diet. Now, let’s explore how you can enhance your eco-friendly actions, ensuring that every step you take leaves a positive impact.
Begin a worm farm
This is home composting elevated. Once you set it up and your worms are comfortable, everything else will flow seamlessly. These little creatures can consume up to half their body weight in food scraps daily. Incredible!
Shop with purpose
Buying second-hand is always a great option, but if you’re in the market for something new, consider brands that stand for something meaningful. Sustainability and ethical production should be priorities. Tentree, which plants ten trees for each purchase, is an excellent starting point!

Create your own soap
Making your own soap lets you choose your own ingredients, essential oils, and fragrances, making it a fun creative project. Concerned about lye? Don’t worry! Just take the time to research beforehand—it’s not as daunting as it appears. One batch of your homemade soap can last you for months!
Install a greywater system
A greywater system that recycles laundry water for landscaping is a significant move for committed environmentalists. This not only reduces water waste but can also be designed without major alterations to your home’s plumbing. It’s worth looking into!
Consider body composting (when the time comes)
A bit grim, we understand, but body composting offers a sustainable way to leave a lasting legacy beyond your lifetime. If you’re drafting your will, consider including plans for your body’s posthumous care and think about this option for minimizing your carbon footprint for good.
