      Hello

      It means healthy food at affordable cost and grown locally, cooked at home, which is good for the planet.

      🙂 Sim

    To me, it means considering the life cycle of everything you use.
    From food, to clothes, to phones, whatever.
    Everything we make, as humans, is made out of stuff, and that stuff has to come from somewhere in the first place, and go somewhere else once we’re finished with it.

    Usually, the somewhere it comes from, is a developing country, and the somewhere it goes, is a landfill site :/

    Thinking about things in this way is called the “holistic” approach to sustainability. A big buzz word right now is “circular economy”, and that’s how we can organise ourselves so that our stuff is never really thrown away, but reused or recycled.

    That’s what

    For me it’s about doing my little bit to make sure I don’t throw things away unnecessarily and make too much waste. I’m trying to reduce the plastic I use but with two small kids it’s surprisingly hard. Still, every little bit makes a difference and I want your generation to inherit the earth in as good a form as possible 🙂
