Integrating sustainability into everyday life is easier than is often thought. In most cases, small changes are enough to protect the environment and save resources. Here are some practical tips on how you can live more sustainably in your everyday life.
1. consume consciously
When shopping, look for durable, repairable and environmentally friendly products. Opt for quality rather than quantity and use sustainable materials. Avoiding disposable items, such as plastic bags or single-use bottles, also helps to reduce waste.
2. use match extensions
An innovative and simple example of sustainable products is the match extension from keli kean®. An environmentally friendly alternative to stick lighters - reusable, resource-saving and easy to use.
3. use energy consciously
Switch off electronic devices completely when you are not using them. Think about whether you can turn down the heating a little or wear warmer clothes instead. Every kilowatt hour saved reduces your carbon footprint.
4. avoid plastic
Avoid plastic where possible. Use reusable containers for food, carry your own shopping bag and choose products that come in sustainable packaging. Glass, paper or recycled materials are good alternatives.
5. reduce food waste
Shop consciously and plan meals in advance to avoid food waste. Leftovers can often be turned into new dishes and freezing food extends its shelf life.
Sustainability starts with small steps. Products such as the matchstick extension show how we can conserve resources with simple innovations. With conscious consumer choices and small changes in behaviour, you can make your everyday life more environmentally friendly and make a positive contribution to protecting our planet.
