6 SUPER SIMPLE WAYS TO LIVE MORE SUSTAINABLY

1.    FIND YOUR NEAREST TAP

We all know the planet has a serious problem with plastic. The prediction is that eight million tonnes of the stuff will be dumped into the oceans this year alone. Shocking right? Hopefully you’ve already invested in a reusable water bottle and now you can make the most of it with the cool new app Tap. It will help you pinpoint thousands of water stations in 7,100 cities across 30 countries so you’ll never be forced to buy a single-use plastic bottle again.

2.    SAY NO TO THE DISPOSABLE CUTLERY

We’ve all been there. You’ve 5 minutes until your next meeting so lunch is gonna be a dash and grab. But busyness is no excuse for laziness people! Resist the urge to grab disposable cutlery (even if they are compostable) and make the one-minute mission to the office kitchen to get grab a proper fork. Simple.

3.    TAKE THE SHOWER POWER PLEDGE

This eco-initiative encourages us to take shorter (and cooler) showers. Cutting down the time you spend in the shower saves time (5 more minutes snoozing anyone?), money, energy and precious water. Sounds like a no-brainer to us.

4.    TRACK YOUR CLIMATE FOOTPRINT

Getting to grips with how your everyday choices affect the climate can be a real eye-opener. The good news is there’s tons of clever calculator apps to make tracking your carbon footprint as easy as tap, tap, tap.
