Juggling Work & Family

It's reassuring to know that many families share similar values and it makes parenting feel a tad less overwhelming, knowing you're not alone in these aspirations, right?

You're right; it is encouraging to know that many like-minded families share similar eco-conscious values. It definitely helps alleviate the feelings of being outnumbered by mainstream consumer culture! Knowing that other parents embark on this journey alongside you is indeed reassuring and motivates one to keep up with their sustainability goals.

Do you have any particular eco-friendly habits you've incorporated into your lifestyle or wish to share? I'm keen to hear about sustainable living tips!

I try to practice zero waste where possible, which includes reducing plastic usage and upcycling or repurposing items to minimize throwaways. For example, my family and I use reusable containers and bags for our grocery hauls and meals, which has significantly reduced the amount of waste we produce weekly. We also compost our food scraps, which is a simple yet impactful habit that any household can start!

I make an effort to educate myself on sustainable practices and eco-friendly alternatives too - researching DIY natural cleaning recipes and discovering zero-waste shops nearby for eco-friendly essentials. Being in quarantine hasn't helped with sustainability goals, but I'm determined to instill these habits into everyday life once things get back to normal!

I love your determination and the initiatives you've taken thus far! It's amazing how much one person can do in the name of sustainability-- every action counts towards our carbon footprint indeed. Composting is on my list too; I think I'll start researching how to do it properly! Thanks for sharing, Lioness. You've inspired me today.
