It can be hard to think about how sustainability is relevant to us personally in our everyday lives, but the truth is that most of our decisions and our activities have an impact on society and the environment.
Have you ever considered:
- When you 'throw away' your waste, where is 'away'?
- When you switch off a light, how much energy you are saving?
- When you buy a coffee, who grew the beans and how they got here?
- When you get dressed, who made your clothes and how they were produced?
- When you go out, choosing a beer that's locally brewed? Or have you ever thought about what's going on in your local community when you're looking for some entertainment or something fun to do?
- When you're at home, how you can lower your bills and save money?
All of these decisions and many more relate to sustainability, and by making decisions you can help create a more sustainable future.
