A quick check-in on the big 6 with easy gear changes for even more success!

Just for context, here’s our overall framework again: food, travel, energy and stuff, wrapped in a principle of zero waste, with all of them having an impact on nature.

Right, let’s go...!

GREENING UP OUR PENSIONS

Where we put our pensions is THE most impactful, 27 times more than anything else we can do! The deets on how to switch here, it’s quicker than you think…

Going seasonal and zero waste

Want to get on top of food waste a bit more? First step: measure what’s left over in the fridge. Then calibrate. Have an ‘eat first’ box at the front of the fridge. Freeze what’s in danger of going off. Soups rule.

GETTING AROUND

The easy shift? ONE flight less. Walk ONE journey a week where you’d normally drive. Since most of us still need to drive, here’s how to drive smarter.

switching to renewables

If you’ve been meaning to but not got around to it yet, you can do it literally while you’re in a coffee queue, it’s that easy. Here’s how. Insulation is a biggie too but a lot more involved, maybe up next?

Going more plant-based

How’s everyone doing on this one? If it feels hard, Meatless Mondays is an easy way in. And if you can buy sustainably when you do, here’s the details.

buying less STUFF

Rule of thumb…Do I really need it? Can I get it fixed? Can I buy it second hand? Clothes are a great place to begin, some tips here.

We…

Aimee: Pensions, renewables, meat all done! Food waste is still something that, whilst improved, has plenty of room for improvement. When I plan and cook in bulk this gets better, so this is a reminder to me to get back on the case!

Sonia: This is why it’s so great to do check-ins, feels so good! My to-do biggie is house insulation as I live in a Victorian, but I can’t invest in that right now. And flights will always be tricky with my family on 3 different continents - it’s impossible to avoid a long haul every year, sometimes two. Gah! For what’s within my possibilities, feeling v happy!

How are you all doing? Do tell us, it makes our day to hear them big or small! Aimee is always available for a high-five .
