once you start transitioning into a more sustainable lifestyle your brain can't help
but notice all the plastic everywhere and all the unnecessary things in your life and in the world
hello everyone my name is amrita and welcome to the channel that
aims to bring you everything from minimalism sustainability self-care and self-development
sustainability is such a broadly used term and organizations are using this to greenwash in an
attempt to monetize environmental conservation do not fall for these marketing tactics
generally speaking sustainability is the term used to emphasize the need to
consume earth's resources at a slower rate than it can replenish those resources it
is important to note that there is not really any item that is zero waste and
all items consume some degree of resources to be produced so the aim really is to
become more conscious and mindful of how and what we are consuming and ultimately
how this is affecting these non-renewable resources and how this is contributing to
climate change so here's part three of this series on how we can try to accomplish this
i took it upon myself to grow garlic chillies and tomatoes last year and no i don't have a
large yard i literally just grew it in pots on my balcony it's a really rewarding project
to have and not to mention how grounding it is i now completely understand why my dad practically
lived in our garden tending to all the fruits and vegetables he would plant all year round
whether this is with regards to your clothes or your hair it doesn't matter
if you've used your item of clothing just once and it is still clean with no real odor then just hang
it outside to get some air and freshen it up a little and then use it at least once more and
the same goes for your hair i've done a video on this on 10 things you can do to improve your hair
health and one of the things is to not wash your hair that often by washing your hair less often
you can get your scalp to produce less sebum over time which helps break the cycle of having
to wash your hair as frequently this also leads to less heat damage from styling drying and heat
from the shower if you really need to spruce it up you can use a homemade dry shampoo which
literally only requires corn flour that you can dust on your roots instead of buying dry shampoo
these methods will not only save water electricity detergent shampoo and conditioner it also reduces
the chemicals that eventually flow into the water systems and contaminating it and of course not
to mention the micro plastics that are released from each wash cycle it is also just better for
the longevity of your garments as well as your hair health and also less effort if you ask me
and last but not least make things from scratch more often you don't have to be a diy queen
but making things from scratch can be fun can reduce unnecessary packaging from being produced
and of course saves you money so this might be to make your own salad dressing or even
your own diy beauty products which i have many videos of if you're interested in those
make these with the ingredients you already have instead of buying ready-made items
and adding to the plastic waste problem in the world not to mention that you're in control of
the ingredients that go into your homemade items and reducing your intake of flavorings colorants
preservatives and the works that's it you guys three simple techniques that you can implement
straight away so just to recap grow your own food wash less and make things from scratch more often
