Take a moment to reflect; what does sustainability mean to you and how does it manifest in your daily life and choices?🦋

Though there is privilege associated with always being able to make a ‘sustainable choice’ (which can pan out in various ways like having the privilege of choice, the privilege of time to commit to living a ‘fully’ sustainability lifestyle among the rest) but it’s also important to liberate sustainability from perfectionist views of environmentalism. The essence of sustainability lies in its diversity✨

From a lifestyle perspective too; we might be tricked to think that replacing all that we have with more ‘eco-friendly’ options is a sustainable step, but it besides being an expensive and inaccessible option for many, can also often escalate the original issues of pollution and incorrect recycling. Embrace the fact that using what you have already for longer periods is certainly one of the most sustainable options. 🌱

It’s therefore important to unbox sustainability, steer away from misconceptions that portray sustainability as squarely ‘going green’, embrace its interconnectedness and also the simplicity of its meaning at core.

Greetings! We’re starting our Facebook dedicated bi-weekly series called “The back to World Series”, where beginning of the week we will suggest you a handful of ways you can reduce your personal plastic waste and step back into the world after your weekend a little more eco-consciously.

🍃Living sustainably seldom implies spending a lot of money is buying accessories and essentials deemed ‘sustainable’. However we totally understand that not all times are we in a position to make an eco-conscious choice due to lack of time, choice or resources among the others at that instance. But any and all efforts made at an individual level to protect the environment around us has the power to steer a change too!

🍃We hope you take a little time to reflect on the list we have curated for you for this week. Taking and advocating for these little actions can go a long way. We would love to hear down in the comments if you’ve taken these steps end of the week!

✨Remember, the change starts with you✨
