Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

I do try to make changes in my life to lead a more sustainable lifestyle sometimes I succeed and a lot of the good intentions are lying dead upon the ground. But the best bit about that the seeds of hope that were within those fallen intentions will grow and bear fruit again someday.

I love my physical books, but they are all second or third hand as far as my brain is concerned at least they are not going to landfill. Plus I do have a kindle for anything new. I have to say don’t forget writers/authors also have a right to make money and books are something to be appreciated a world without books is a scary thought

I recycle ♻️ as much as I can even at the tip it all goes into section, not just general waste

Led light bulbs. Lights out when you leave a room. Oven used if it’s full mini oven for small portion . All that sort of things

Now I don’t drive due to health so bonus to me, no car that is good and manual wheelchair ran by people power

My clothes, I have too many I am told I guess that goes back to the days when I hardly had any and I have just come out of a phase of making sure I never get like that again. My friend and I clothes swap so that’s my way of recycling and I do wear until most things die a natural death.

I could live a much more substantial life but at the moment I am finding it tough enough to get through every day, without the added pressure of how wasteful I can be, how un ethically sourced my clothes are,that my food is not organic or more plant based. I do try to grow a few vegetables 🥕 sometimes with success and sometimes not. Not because it’s hard to do but because my health lets me down

Most of my home is secondhand or hand me downs and I have learnt the learnt the old adage make do and mend. I have had trouble with a hoarding issue because I couldn’t stand to see good things thrown to scrap, but I’m over that now. It’s a difficult thing when you can’t stand to see good things thrown away and you know you can repurpose and maybe sell on, in the meantime the house takes on the appearance of a scrap pile so much for me trying to do something good for the environment.

In the process of my house being sorted my shed being turned into a workshop and art room and I have been promised nothing will be scrapped in the remodelling of this.

So here you have my troubled road to living a substantial life
