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!
