Being environmentally friendly. Embracing sustainability.\nIt\u2019s not just a once-in-awhile thing anymore. It\u2019s a lifestyle. Enter: \u201cgreen living.\u201d Green living is the\nplanetary equivalent of healthy eating and regular exercise. They are not\nthings to do every now and then but are important long-term habits to cultivate\nto help us thrive. And if we want to keep on thriving, we have to not only take\ncare of our individual health, but the health of our planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of sustainable\nliving can be intimidating. Do you remember \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fW5_R-7BClY\">No Impact Man<\/a>\u201d? He and his family lived in the middle of New\nYork City and resolved to live with no environmental footprint \u2013&nbsp;no impact\non the planet \u2013&nbsp;for one year. That\u2019s right: no cars or carbon emitting\ntransportation of any kind, no electricity, no Netflix! Rest assured; nothing\nso drastic is required. Green\nliving through sustainable\npractices is something we can work towards without giving up all of our\ndaily comforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to making lifestyle changes, start out with a few new\nactivities and continue to build from there. The list below is broken into\ndifferent categories of our daily lives. Pick one from each category to get\nstarted and make your living greener. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Green Living Category 1: Consumption<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/EarthDay_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19100\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What are you buying, throwing away, and how?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We love stuff. Especially new stuff. But all that stuff adds up. Sustainable living in\npart requires us to think about our consumption patterns differently. What do\nwe buy? From whom? How do the things we consume get to us? Where do the things\nwe don\u2019t want any more go? The production, distribution, and disposal of goods\ntakes an enormous toll on the planet. A few green living tips can help us approach \u201cout with\nthe old and in with the new\u201d differently: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Freecycle<\/strong>&nbsp; Most\nneighborhoods have access to online groups wherein people <a href=\"https:\/\/trashnothing.com\/beta\/\">list things<\/a> they may not want anymore but another person\ncould use. Check out your own freecycle options with an online search. It\u2019s a\ngreat alternative to the landfill! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upcycle<\/strong>&nbsp; Give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-home\/diy-projects\/tips-to-upcycle-furniture-for-a-brand-new-look\/\">new life<\/a> to old pieces of furniture with repurposing or\na makeover. You can also offer old pieces by posting them for sale on Facebook\nor Craigslist. Upcycling can apply to creative uses for other components of\nconsumption, too, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-home\/diy-projects\/20-creative-ideas-for-repurposed-plastic-containers\/\">plastic water bottles<\/a> or egg cartons turned into planters for an herb\ngarden. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resell<\/strong>&nbsp; Who\ndoesn\u2019t like to make a little extra cash? While throwing something away often\nseems like the most expedient response to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-space\/cleaning\/spring-cleaning-clean-like-pro\/\">spring cleaning<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-space\/organization\/21-home-organization-tips-for-2021\/\">home organization<\/a>, it\u2019s certainly not your only option. There are\nplenty of platforms for selling gently used items and clothing. Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/poshmark.com\/\">Poshmark<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thredup.com\/\">ThreadUp<\/a> both for selling and buying. After all, new to\nyou is still new! The fashion industry is responsible for generating 20% of the\nworld\u2019s wastewater and 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing your\nconsumption of new clothing means more sustainable living. Green never looked so good! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store<\/strong>&nbsp; Storage\nis another alternative to the landfill. We tend to think if we are not using\nsomething at this moment, we should get rid of it, meaning we end up replacing\nthings down the road. More consumption, more production, more pollution, more\nwaste. If you aren\u2019t feeling the whole outdoorsy vibe right now, for example,\nconsider putting your hiking boots and additional gear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/\">into\nstorage<\/a>. Chances\nare you\u2019ll use them again and will have saved yourself financial and\nenvironmental cost. Good on ya! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Green Living Category 2: Energy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another area wherein what\u2019s good for the planet is also good for\nyour bank account. With an uptick in energy costs, reducing your energy usage\nand getting smart about alternatives can save real cash and increase your green\nlifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/EarthDay_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19101\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Simple upgrades around your home can save a lot of energy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unplug<\/strong>&nbsp; Simple\nyet effective. Many of us tend to keep our phone or device chargers plugged\ninto an outlet at all times. Doing so, however, means we are still drawing\nenergy. Develop the habit of unplugging all chargers when not in use. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulate\nthe temperature<\/strong>&nbsp; Don\u2019t worry, I am not going to tell you to\nconduct an entire energy audit or your home and reinstall insulation\nthroughout. Energy audits are a good idea and an excellent way to identify and\nremedy energy inefficiencies, but there are a few approaches to home energy you\ncan deploy today. Regulating the temperature in your home is one. Anytime your\nhome will be empty for four or more hours, adjust the temperature down (or up\nfor summer) by 5-8 degrees. Ideal thermostat settings for winter and summer are\n68 and 78 degrees, respectively. Put on \u00ad\u2013 or remove \u2013&nbsp;clothing to make\nthat temperature more comfortable for you rather than touching the thermostat. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find\nthe right light<\/strong>&nbsp; We\u2019ve known for some time that LED lightbulbs\nare the most energy-efficient lighting option. What\u2019s new is the range of LED\nbulbs available to us: dimmable, solar-powered, indoor, outdoor, and any\nwattage and color you can imagine. With bulbs to fit just about all fixtures,\nthere\u2019s no reason not to go LED throughout your home. Lighting accounts for\nroughly 15% of a home\u2019s electricity use. LEDs use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/lighting-choices-save-you-money#:~:text=Although%20once%20known%20mainly%20for,longer%20than%20traditional%20incandescent%20bulbs.\">90% less energy<\/a> than standard bulbs and last 25 times longer.\nShine some light on your commitment to green living! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Green Living Category 3: Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/EarthDay_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19097\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Consider diet and shopping habits to reduce food waste.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What we eat represents a lot when it comes to the sustainability of life in\ngeneral \u2013 and the sustainability of our own lives. To make that life green and\nsustainable means paying close attention to our food choices. What we eat, how\nit\u2019s grown or raised, where it comes from and how it gets to us are all issues\nrelevant to green living.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Less\nmeat<\/strong>&nbsp; Meat production is one of the biggest sources\nof polution, accounting for nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2021\/sep\/13\/meat-greenhouses-gases-food-production-study\">60%<\/a> of greenhouse gasses emitted into the\natmosphere. Taking meat out of your diet for a few meals each week results in\nless production and is healthier for you in both the short- and long-term. Your\nbody \u2013 and the planet \u2013&nbsp;will benefit. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Less\npackaging<\/strong>&nbsp; Our food is packaged in a variety of ways and\neach method has <a href=\"https:\/\/foodprint.org\/issues\/the-environmental-impact-of-food-packaging\/#:~:text=Each%20form%20of%20packaging%20uses,or%20sludge%20containing%20toxic%20contaminants.\">implications for the environment<\/a>. Plastic food packaging, for example, accounts\nfor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/eco-friendly-food-packaging\">60%<\/a> of all plastic production. To embrace green living, start to\nthink about how your food is packaged. The best option is to forgo packaging\naltogether. Skip the additional bag for your produce at the grocery store, for\nexample. Look for paper or cardboard packaging when possible as both are\ncompostable. Finally, review your community recycling guidelines so you know\nhow to dispose of various packaging in the best way. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Less\ndistance<\/strong>&nbsp; Did you know the food we buy from the grocery\nstore travels an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coldspringfarmct.com\/blog\/2020\/12\/14\/why-eating-locally-matters-now-more-than-ever\">1,300 miles<\/a> to get to us? When you buy your food from a\nlocal market, the average distance is 3 miles. That\u2019s a pretty significant\ndifference! Buying your food locally is a step toward green living and it supports the local\neconomy. Get thee to a farmer\u2019s market! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Green Living Category 4: Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/EarthDay_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19098\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Water is the lifeblood of the earth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard the phrase \u201call climate issues are water issues and vice versa.\u201d Water issues in general will become more pointed, prevalent, and problematic in the coming years. Incorporating strong sustainable living habits when it comes to water is something we can all do now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Talk\nabout it<\/strong>&nbsp; Have a conversation with your family about\nwater use and get on the same page. Talk about saving water and the role each\nof you can play in doing so. Be sure to let your kids know it\u2019s ok to flush the\ntoilet (my mistakes are your gain) but encourage them to do simple things like\nturn off the tap when brushing teeth and be more efficient in the shower. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measure\nit<\/strong>&nbsp; Water utilities have all the info you need to\ndetermine your household usage. You can check your bill or your online account\nto learn more or get in touch with the utility directly. Encourage your\nhousehold to improve its water efficiency by making it a family challenge,\ncomplete with the reward of knowing you are reinforcing sustainable living values your kids will\nappreciate. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get\ncreative with it<\/strong>&nbsp; Think about all the water you use in your\nhome and find a way for that water to do double-duty. Running the shower until\nthe water is warm enough? Put your watering cans in the shower to capture the\nwater and use it for your plants and garden. Undrunk glasses of water can go\ninto the pets\u2019 water bowls and any old water in Fido\u2019s bowl can in turn be used\nfor the plants. Are these things going to save the world\u2019s water supply? No.\nWill they shift your consciousness when it comes to water use? Absolutely. And\nthat is an important first step to long-lasting green living. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable living does not have to be intimidating and it is not\nsomething you need to do all at once. Forgo a sudden lifestyle overhaul in\nfavor of altering a few behaviors and thinking patterns at a time. Before you\nknow it, you\u2019ll be living green for the long term. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Living: One Habit at a Time Going green.
