How to live a sustainable lifestyle

by Jaewon Chang | 01-01-2020 16:37 recommendations 0

Green living often refers to the usage of natural resources to maintain supplies for the future. Although this term may sound grand and hard to tackle by youth, there are many ways to live a sustainable lifestyle that benefits our planet. In this post, I will recommend steps that we can take to live in a sustainable manner.

Households account for a great percentage of energy consumption every year. One of the easiest steps we can take to live a sustainable lifestyle is through changing practices in the house. For example, when appliances are not in use, leaving them off can conserve energy. This includes lights, water taps and electric appliances. When electric appliances such as chargers are not being used, consider plugging them out of the socket.

Another major source of energy consumption is the consumption of non-local products. This includes a wide range of fruits and vegetables that are imported. The products consume a lot of fossil fuels to arrive at its destination. Consuming less of these imported goods and more local goods may induce supermarket owners to reduce the amount of imported goods being sold.

Lastly, less reliance on personal cars is also a step towards a sustainable lifestyle. Consider using a bike or walking to your destination. Both these activities are good sources of exercise, and can reduce the amount of energy that you consume!

Although the steps I have mentioned are helpful towards achieving a sustainable lifestyle, there are many other methods. Try to discover one method that you can achieve regularly, and continue practicing it!

    Hey Jaewon
    it's Lisa:)

    You have some good points made here and among them I think decreasing our reliance on our personal vehicle is really getting more and more important. Public transportation and riding a bike are two very well-practiced alternatives in many countries yet still in many parts of the world people cannot just sacrifice themselves a bit due to their own convenience.
    Everyone, all of us are complice and we have to take the burdens together!

    Enjoyed reading your report and looking forward to what you will bring to us next time!
    Great work!

    Hello Jaewon

    Thank you for the great suggestions. In fact, suggestions you made are not hard to practice in daily basis. It's just that those practices require little bit of reminding day by day. I'm sure that if many households come together under those ideas, great changes will happen, and the huge amount of resources can be saved.

    Thank you for the great report.
