Saving The World While Saving Dollars
9 Sustainable habits that will end up saving you money
1. Do not buy the latest hype
Buying less and reducing your consumption is of course the best possible thing you can do. If you spend any time online, you will have noticed how the internet is geared towards making you buy more and more. There is always something new and exciting for you to buy.
Don’t fall into that trap! Unsubscribe from all promotional emails, get an adblocker and don’t believe influencers when they tell you ‘this is the thing that will turn your life around’.
2. BYO takeout container
This is a super simple trick that can make a tiny difference.
When you go for takeout, ask if it can be placed into your own container. Or, when you order takeout, keep the plastic box and then re-use it for your next mail.
I also keep those plastic containers to use them for my own homemade lunch. It saves me from having to buy new lunch boxes.
3. Avoid takeout altogether
Even better than reusing the containers from your last takeout meal is not having takeout in the first place.
