Leading an eco-friendly lifestyle means you need to be more aware of your own habits. Before you jump on the bandwagon, it’s a good idea to get a broader sense of your current lifestyle and habits. If you’re working 60+ hours a week, you might not be able to get into DIY or if you live in a tiny apartment with no backyard, you might not be able to grow your own vegetables. Everyone has their own challenges, so you need to find the activities that suit your life the best.

As with all habits, it’s important to start building up to leading a fully eco-friendly lifestyle. You don’t have to immediately jump into becoming zero waste or making all your food. In fact, little changes done consistently over a long period of time have a much bigger impact than the occasional large gesture. So even changing one small thing in your life can help reduce your carbon footprint.
