There are a few easy tips for living light that can help you save money and live a more sustainable lifestyle.
-
Buy in bulk whenever possible. This can be anything from groceries to household items. Buying in bulk can often be cheaper than buying individual items, and it reduces waste.
-
Plan your meals ahead of time and make sure to pack your lunch or dinner with you so that you don’t have to waste food.
-
Use reusable bags when shopping and bring your own container when eating out. This will not only reduce your carbon footprint, but it will also save you money.
-
Try to bike or walk whenever possible. Not only is this a great way to get exercise, but it also helps reduce traffic congestion and air pollution.
-
Avoid using plastic water bottles when possible and instead drink tap water or filtered water from the store if necessary. Bottled water is expensive and it creates unnecessary waste, both of which are problematic for the environment.
