Let’s be honest, going “fully green” overnight isn’t realistic for most of us. That’s okay. Sustainability isn’t about perfection. Small, consistent changes can make a real impact, especially when they are habits you’ll stick with. Here are a few simple ways to be more eco-friendly without overhauling your life. 1. Cut back on single use items This one is low effort, but high impact. Keep reusable water bottles, coffee mug, or a set of utensils on hand. Fewer disposables equal less waste in landfills. 2. Be intentional with energy use Turning off the lights when you leave a room, or unplugging chargers when your not using them seems like minor usage, but these add up. Open the blinds instead of flipping the switch, your plants will thank you. 3. Choose digital when you can Opt for digital documents, invoices, and notes instead of printed ones. When printing is necessary, use double-sided printing. It’s a simple way to reduce paper waste, especially in an office environment. 4. Support sustainable choices (when possible) You don’t have to buy all “green” everything. Just be more mindful. Choose durable products over disposable ones, and support companies that prioritize sustainability when it makes sense for you. 5. Talk about it One of the most overlooked green habits is conversation. Sharing tips, tricks, and wins with others helps normalize eco-conscious choices and encourages others to try them. Sustainability is about progress, not perfection. Start with one or two habits that feel manageable and build from there. Remember, real change takes time.
