Minimalism
A potential positive impact on sustainability
You will find out how a minimalist lifestyle can have a green impact and your first steps into this direction.
Leave the car at home
Many of us have a short commute to work but still use the car to cover short distances. Rather than considering using the bike as a waste of time, it's worth remembering that you're not just saving fuel by cycling, you're doing something good to yourself.
Although the journey by bike may take a little longer, these are by no means wasted minutes. You are spending time outside with fresh air, filling up your Vitamin D level through the direct sunlight on your skin and exercising at the same time.
These and other positive effects of cycling to your workplace itself could fill a whole post.
Realize what is necessary
Not buying something can be a challenge. And that's exactly why you should think carefully about what you really need.
Does it really make us happy to have one more item of clothing in our wardrobe that we occasionally wear, even though we already have enough? Digitalization makes it extremely easy to view hundreds of articles on a topic in just a few moments. It is precisely this simplification that allows a quick order to be placed on the sofa in the evening.
Giving away unused items
Instead of throwing away things that are no longer needed, you can simply give them away. This way you can make others happy and save the person receiving the gift having to buy something new.
If you don't know anyone who would like to have your old mug, for example, you can simply place the items you would like to give away next to the street with a small “for free” sign. Alternatively, you can of course also use the internet for selling used items.
