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

There are so many things that I try to practice to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Some of the ones that I could remember are listed below.

1.Discipline: Living a more sustainable lifestyle takes discipline. This is not a punishment it encourages proper behavior. Discipline allows me to be in control of how to manage my lifestyle.

2. Budgeting is a form of control.Budgeting allows me to plan before spending and reduce waste. I have three types of budget.I have the spending budget which I use for groceries and running the house the next budget is for utilities payments ( electricity, waste management, water bill)and the third budget is saving.Once money goes into the savings that money will be for future projects.

3.Recycling: This is a necessity in my house.We collect all empty plastic containers send it for recycling and get few pennies.With this we are keeping the house clean,keeping our community and making the world a better place for all of us.

4.Reduction in water usage.Water is properly managed. We shower only once a day and water used for gardening is under control.

5.Electricity : Light are turned on at night and turned off when going to bed.But the outside lights remain on all night. We are currently not using solar or wind energy.

6.Food wastage. Foods are not wasted, if it is not finished it is will be refrigerated and eaten later.

7.Eating healthy: Balanced meals is encouraged to obtain a more sustainable lifestyle.High nutrients are in important in the daily meals. This is eaten three times a day.(Cabohydrate,Protein and fat)

8.Gardening : Gardening is very important to live a more sustainable lifestyle. We plant 🌿 green vegetables, 🍅 🍅 🍅 tomatoes, pepper ,fruits in our garden. The tomatoes that we generate from our garden last upto one year.

9.Donation of used clothes:Giving fairly used items to Salvage Army and Thrifty Stores helps the homeless and new arrival to the country.
