hi my name is mel and this is what i do
to live more sustainably
there's three parts to it there's the
products that i welcome into my life
which i do my due diligence on then
there's taking care of the products i
already own
so if you can extend the life of
something either by mending it
or even giving it to charity or just
looking after it
is really helpful for reducing its
carbon impact over time
and then there's how do i recycle what
is the end of life of the products that
i'm using with my personal care products
i
really slim down what i've used and the
stuff that i do buy
i try and make sure that there's zero
packaging if possible i
make sure that i'm buying from a brand
that either you can give the product
back and get them refilled
or they're entirely made out of glass or
tin so you can be sure that they're
actually going to be something that will
be recycled we make sure that all the
food scraps we use
are you know put into a composting
facility which creates energy
or we upcycle and use as many scraps as
we can to create
broth
