Sustainable Lifestyle

Sustainable living is often associated with environmentally friendly behaviors such as reducing plastic use, planting trees, using public transportation, and so on...

Sustainable living is a lifestyle that considers its impact on the environment, society, and economy to support long-term well-being. It includes considerations of ecology, social justice, and economic welfare.

But are you aware that being on time is also a way of living sustainably? Being on time means we do not waste resources. Just imagine a meeting room that has been prepared since 2 PM with the AC and lights on, then waiting for one person who never arrives. Even when they do arrive, the meeting drags on and ultimately delays the end time, even though the main discussion only takes 15 minutes.

Imagine how many resources, time that could have been used for something more useful is wasted just like that. And of course, when one schedule is delayed, everything else is delayed too. After all, time is also a resource, right?

When we cannot predict how many things we can accomplish today just because the time cannot be well predicted, then a lot of waste occurs and it means we are not living sustainably.

Here is an Example of a Sustainable Lifestyle:

• Using environmentally friendly transportation such as cycling, walking, or using public transport.
• Reducing the use of chemicals and starting to switch to organic products, such as replacing chemical soap with soap nut, producing eco enzym as a natural cleaner and purifier.
• Choosing products that support a sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle, choosing local products, and supporting the implementation of the principles of "Reduce-Reuse-Recycle".
• Implementing a capsule wardrobe, which involves buying clothes in basic styles and colors that are timeless and easy to mix and match without having to own a lot of clothing. This lifestyle will reduce fabric waste caused by fast fashion trends.
• Bringing shopping bags, water bottles, and eating utensils from home to minimize plastic use.
• Choosing food that is produced in an environmentally friendly manner and supports local agriculture.
• Supporting the local community and participating in social activities.
• Choosing to bike or walk as an alternative mode of transportation reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• Buying secondhand items or secondhand to help reduce waste production and extend the lifespan of products.
• Reducing the consumption of animal products can help lessen environmental impacts, such as deforestation and methane emissions from livestock.
• Recycling practices and waste sorting help reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills, optimizing the reuse of certain materials. Recyclable waste can be sent to waste banks, and organic waste can be composted at home.
• Supporting local products helps reduce the carbon footprint generated by long-distance shipping and transportation, while also empowering the local economy.
• Choosing public transportation over private vehicles can reduce exhaust emissions and traffic congestion, as well as decrease the need for parking spaces.
• Water-saving practices, such as fixing leaks and using water-efficient appliances, help conserve the very important water resources.
• Choosing products that have eco-friendly labels or organic certifications can support more sustainable production.
• Continuously increasing knowledge about environmental issues and sharing information with others can help spread awareness and inspire positive action.
• Using renewable energy sources such as solar power or wind power for electricity needs can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels that can harm the environment.
