Balance

Bizz and Claire chat about how doing your best doesn't mean doing everything and that creating a balance in your life is the key to sustainability.

 

Concepts:

  • Focusing on one thing at a time
  • Doing research before diving in
  • Choosing to NOT do/use/have rather than finding an alternative
  • Don't need to fit all your waste in a jar to be low waste
  • Self care and self compassion
  • Just DO. Doing something is better than nothing, even if it's small.
  • Try to find the one thing with the biggest impact
  • Try to find the simplest thing 
  • Take into consideration other people in your life when making changes
  • New changes in life can mean going backward a bit
    • New job, new baby, new home, etc.

Specifics:

  • Public transportation 
    • Using it is the best way to make it better
  • Strategically choosing where you live 
    • Size
    • Location
    • Efficiency
  • Car share
  • Cycling
  • Meal planning
  • Shopping for food in bulk
  • Mending clothes
    • Visible mending
  • Compost alternatives to green bin for apartment dwellers
