Consuming responsibly is easy! This involves adopting simple gestures on a daily basis to limit its environmental impact in order to preserve the planet and fight against global warming.

Simple actions that make a difference

Here is the list of 5 (easy) actions to adopt to preserve the environment:

1. Reduce your waste

  • Sort meticulously: Use selective sorting bins rigorously and avoid sorting errors;
  • Say no to waste: Buy in reasonable quantities and store your food properly to avoid loss;
  • Limit packaging: Choose products in bulk or with recyclable packaging, no longer buy over-packaged products. Bulk foods are identical in taste to supermarket products (even better quality and often less expensive).

2. Ban plastic bottles

  • Choose tap water: Filter it if necessary and use a reusable bottle for your travels;
  • Adopt alternative containers: Opt for glass or stainless steel bottles to store your homemade drinks.

3. Buy seasonal fruits and vegetables

  • Choose seasonal fruits and vegetables of French origin : It’s even better if you buy them locally, locally and organically. But hey, you can’t always have everything, especially depending on where you live.

4. Get started with upcycling

  • Give your objects a second life: Transform your old clothes into trendy accessories, customize your furniture, etc.;
  • Get inspired and learn: Many tutorials and workshops are available online and within associations.

5. Choose natural cosmetics

  • Favor organic products: Opt for cosmetics free of chemicals harmful to the planet and your health;
  • Find out about labels: Pay attention to labels and certifications that guarantee the quality and origin of the products.

Sustainable consumption

Consuming responsibly is essential for the optimal conservation of the plant. Adopting these actions will allow you to change things on your scale and contribute to a better world.

Consume less, but better!
