BRADENTON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2022 / Every day individuals make choices that impact the climate, the environment, and other species. This ranges from the food individuals consume to the number of children families have, so there are many opportunities to reduce their environmental footprint, which helps leave room for plants and wild animals.

This doesn't mean everyone should be limited to only eating vegetables and using a bicycle to get everywhere. According to the Solar America Initiative, it's more about the slight changes that could help lessen the environmental impact.

Solar America Initiative Helps You Live a More Sustainable Lifestyle

The Solar America Initiative's Definition of Sustainable Living

Sustainable living revolves around reducing the number of resources humans use to help keep it protected. There are many ways individuals' can accomplish this goal, such as limiting energy use, switching to eco-friendly products, and changing their diet. In a nutshell, the goal of living a sustainable lifestyle is to have the smallest impact on the Earth possible while replacing those used resources.

How to Live More Sustainably

For those who desire to live a more sustainable lifestyle but aren't sure how the following tips from the Solar America Initiative can help:

Go Paperless

To limit wasting paper, receive bills and letters electronically and only print necessary documents. Also, when shopping, choosing an electronic receipt is a more sustainable option than a printed version.

Grow Produce

Those who grow fruits and vegetables in their garden for consumption can ensure pesticides aren't being used to contribute to air pollution and tainted groundwater. This act also helps reduce the number of fossil fuels required to move goods to supermarkets. Plus, the result is fresh and inexpensive food!

Reuse and Recycle

Those seeking the goal of leading a more sustainable life must always separate recyclables from normal trash. All recyclable packaging indicates recyclability by the triangle somewhere on the item. Take this a step further by reusing water bottles multiple times or repurposing them.

Save Energy

Using less energy equates to a reduction in carbon emissions. This can easily be accomplished at home by turning off standby appliances, hanging clothes instead of using the drier, and turning down the heat.

Save Water

Saving water around the home may seem like a pointless task but over time it can have a major impact. Those who install a water butt and utilize greywater in plants will avoid wasting valuable drinking water.

Use Reusable Alternatives

Single-use products like plastic cutlery and plastic water bottles usually end up in the ocean or landfills, thus causing harm to the environment and wildlife. As an alternative, use eco-friendly and reusable options.

Utilize Eco-Friendly Products

Many cleaning products contain industrial chemicals that are detrimental to the environment. However, those that commit to using eco-friendly/green cleaning products can help prevent these chemicals from entering groundwater and the overall waste stream.

There are many ways for humans to be effective in lowering their impact on the environment. These tips from the Solar America Initiative are only the tip of the iceberg. There are many creative and small ways to make changes and help save the Earth!
