This blog is all about sharing my sustainable living journey and share some tips on sustainable living.
Plastic take-out containers:
When we order food from most of the restaurants, you get it in plastic containers. Of course, you can repurpose them, but how about avoiding them altogether. Going back to good old dabba system. Avail food services from small businesses and wonderful chef’s around in your apartment or Neighborhood. You can use your own containers to get the food. Bonus, you can increase your step count on the way to pick the food.
Multiple grocery orders:
After companies started grocery delivery services within 5-10 minutes, we observed we put meal planning in the backburner and started ordering on the go. I realized how much of wastage I am creating by this, air pollution in transport, multiple packaging materials etc. So, this year, we want to meal plan at least a week ahead and source locally, thereby reducing our carbon footprint.
Thrifting/ Secondhand shopping:
I was always hesitant towards anything secondhand. This year I want to overcome that mind block and start thrifting. With Dunzo and other delivery services, I can always pick up things anywhere within the city.
Repurposing waste materials and DIYs:
This is the one I really enjoy, spray painting waste bottles and turning them into vases and art pieces, cutting out pretty packaging materials, putting them in photo frame to make beautiful art pieces.
