10 simple actions to protect the planet
- Take your own bag to do your shopping (we forget the plastic bags)
- Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth and only turn it on when you need it
- Unplug chargers and sockets that you are not using immediately (it's good for the planet and for your electricity bill at the end of the month!). It is also better to turn off your electrical appliances rather than putting them on standby.
- Replace water bottles : invest in a filter jug or simply tap water!
- Think about the long term when making a small everyday purchase - a razor or a toothbrush to replace? We invest in beautiful objects like a brass razor or a bamboo toothbrush.
- Consume less animal products . Cattle farming is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Legumes, tofu, vegan meals… When possible we choose the alternative!
- Dust off your bike. Its average speed is similar to the car in an urban environment. Reduce your carbon footprint by favoring walking, cycling or public transport.
- No more plastic cups at the coffee break: you bring your own mug or water bottle to the office.
- Sort waste. It's very simple to set up. Take 10 minutes during your next weekend to organize your trash and you won't have to think about it again. Include 1 basket for glass (recyclable), 1 bag for cardboard packaging and paper (recyclable), 1 bag for household waste (non-recyclable) and for food waste (unless you have a compost or collection bin near you, at that time you can bring your food waste there)
- We talk about it with those around us to share good practices and adopt new ones.
