It means being mindful about what, how, and how much we produce and consume so that the earth’s resources are used judiciously and preserved for future generations.

Here are some easy ways to curb your consumption, reduce your footprint, and do your part to make the planet a better place in the process.

1. Reduce Your Use of Plastic

Plastic seems to be public enemy number one these days, and for good reason: It’s clogging our oceans and landfills in terrifying amounts, and takes hundreds (even thousands) of years to break down. Once you start noticing how prevalent plastic is in our daily lives, you can start avoiding it whenever possible.

2. Shop Locally..

Local business owners, whether it’s a gift shop or a clothing store, often have a smaller carbon footprint than their big-box competitors. In addition, they employ local residents, keeping profits within the community and helping boost the local economy—a win-win for everyone.

3. Learn to Repair Your Stuff:

One of the easiest ways to reduce your consumption is to learn to repair your gear, clothing, and household items instead of continually buying new ones.

Another easy way to extend the life of your gear is care kits.


4.Volunteer for a Sustainability-Focused Initiative..


Contributing your time and money to organizations and projects that care for Earth’s natural wonders gives you a whole new level of respect for the environment—and allows you to connect with like-minded people.

5. Travel Lightly

There’s no way around the fact that travel isn’t great for the planet, but there are many ways you can make it less harmful. First of all, you can purchase carbon credits, which help offset the impact (some airlines even allow you to donate miles in exchange for carbon credits).

How can I help as a consumer?

There are two main ways to help:

Reducing your waste and

Being thoughtful about what you buy and choosing a sustainable option whenever possible.

Ensure you don’t throw away food, and reduce your consumption of plastic—one of the main pollutants of the ocean. Carrying a reusable bag, refusing to use plastic straws, and recycling plastic bottles are good ways to do your part every day.

Why do we need to change the way we consume?

Economic and social progress over the last century has been accompanied by environmental degradation that is endangering the very systems on which our future development and very survival depend.

Implement the 10‑Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns, all countries taking action, with developed countries taking the lead, taking into account the development and capabilities of developing countries
Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.
