Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? – The daily writing prompt digging deep this morning.

It’s a good thing I look up some terms because I misinterpret things occasionally. Like the term sustainable lifestyle. When I Googled it, I found this answer.

Sustainable Lifestyles are considered as ways of living, social behaviors and choices, that minimize environmental degradation (use of natural resources, CO2 emissions, waste and pollution) while supporting equitable socio-economic development and better quality of life for all.

Wow, I was thinking about how we sustain ourselves, like our health. Ops.

So, minimizing environmental degradation and things I try to practice daily.

I try to limit the use of energy to heat and cool the home each day. We recycle and drive fuel efficient vehicles. We don’t waste food or water. I don’t litter and I will pick up others trash. I try to limit my trash footprint.

My property is mostly wooded in back and I try to keep it as natural as possible. Which means I watch out for turtles, snakes and other critters when mowing a portion of the area. The view of the sun shining through the trees in the morning during the summer from my kitchen window always reminds me to respect nature.
