Living sustainably doesn’t have to mean completely overhauling your lifestyle. In fact, small, conscious choices made consistently can create lasting positive change for your health and the planet. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your eco-friendly lifestyle habits, here are 10 practical tips to live more sustainably.
1. Eat More Plant-Based Meals
Meat and dairy production are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing your intake, even just a few days a week, can make a big difference. Embrace legumes and other plant-based proteins like tofu, nuts, and seeds.
Plant protein not only has a lower environmental impact but is also linked to better health outcomes. It can be as simple as changing your protein shake to a plant-based option. Pea and rice proteins help stabilise blood sugar and appetite and are considered comparable to animal protein in this domain. An organic, plant-based protein powder is a sustainable, clean, nutritious choice.
2. Support Local & Organic
Buy local to support small farms and reduce transport emissions - or better yet, grow your own! Choose organic for environmental benefits like reduced pollution and improved soil health, cornerstones to sustainable farming. Eating a variety of organic foods supports a healthy diet and reduces exposure to pesticides and toxins.
3. Reduce Waste
Cut down on waste by choosing reusable products, buying only what you need, and recycling correctly. Support brands that use recyclable, compostable, or minimal packaging to help close the loop. Plan your meals, store food properly, and get creative with leftovers. Compost food scraps to keep them out of landfill and return nutrients to the soil.
Look for companies like Whole Earth & Sea® who use sustainable, recycled packaging, actively reduce waste and work hard to be carbon neutral.
4. Sustainable Health
Your wellness routine can be eco-friendly too. Whole Earth & Sea® provides vegan, non-GMO supplements for sustainable health.
Our Farm Fresh Factors® wholefood blends provide a variety of vitamins, minerals and natural immune-boosting antioxidants and phytonutrients. Grown on Whole Earth & Sea® organic farms using regenerative agriculture practices like crop rotation, cover crops, compost fertiliser, hand-harvesting and gentle processing, these ingredients produce nutrient-rich supplements without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides.
Enjoy the benefits of daily supplements such as Women’s Multi and Fermented Organic Protein & Greens powder, made without unnecessary fillers and synthetic additives, and support your health and the planet.
5. Choose Eco-Certified Products
Look for products that care for both you and the planet. Whole Earth & Sea® is a carbon neutral, certified B Corporation®, integrating people, the planet and profit into every business decision.
6. Avoid Single-Use Plastics
Avoid plastic water bottles, bags and straws. Instead, opt for reusable items like stainless steel bottles, cloth shopping bags and recyclable utensils.
7. Reduce Energy Use
Switch to LED bulbs, unplug devices when not in use, and invest in solar and energy-efficient appliances.
8. Buy Less, Choose Well
Fast fashion and disposable products contribute to pollution and waste. Buy quality items that last, repair instead of replace, and support ethical brands.
9. Ditch the Car
Walking, biking or taking public transport reduces emissions and improves your physical health. If driving is necessary, consider carpooling or upgrading to an electric or hybrid vehicle.
10. Conserve Water
Reduce water waste with rainwater tanks, greywater recycling, low-flow fixtures, fixing leaks and taking shorter showers. Every drop saved supports a healthier planet.
