We’ve come to the end of the Quick Start mini-guide to Sustainable Living, so here’s a summary.
The summary will help you consolidate what you’ve learnt.
Here we go:

PART 1: FINDING YOUR WHY
To make a change in our lifestyle, even a small one, it’s important to know why you want to do it.
What is motivating you to take action?
What is the destination you hope to reach?
When you’ve found this, you’re ready to begin your journey towards sustainable living.
PART 2: SMALL & EASY
When starting, the best is to start small and easy.
Finding a simple 2-minute action is better than a 5-minute one.
If you can find a 1-minute action, even better.
It has to be so small and easy that you can do it every day, every time.
Guaranteed success.
This success keeps you motivated to build even more successes along the way.
PART 3: PLACE IT THERE
After choosing your small-and-easy action, it’s time to prep yourself to implement it.
Think about what obstacles may stand in your way and remove them.
Place the item in a most logical and convenient place so that you’ll always use it.
Within sight, within mind.
PART 4: JUST SAY NO
Hold a “Just Say No” card and use it to reduce waste.
Find something relevant to your life and practise using your “Just Say No” card.
The more you practise, the more natural it gets.
PART 5: TREASURE IT
Being a mindful consumer helps us to save money and space. Both in our home and our lives.
For the item you’ve bought, treasure it.
Consider how you’ll care for it.
And how you’ll handle it at its end of use.
.
Moving towards sustainable living involves updating our lifestyle habits.
It’s a process that may take weeks, months or years.
Each small step you take today may seem little. Yet every drop makes an ocean.
Over time, your actions add up to make a big difference.
And you’ll influence people around you to take up small steps, even without realising it.
Thank you for caring enough to make a positive difference to the planet we share.
Thank you for reading my emails. Catch up at the next one!
