8 Tips to be more sustainable - ecofriendly<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being more sustainable or ecofriendly is something that we should incorporate into our lives, whenever we can. Not only does it help the environment, but it also makes us more aware of our lifestyle <\/strong> and the changes we can make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that there are large companies and multinationals that are responsible for a large part of the waste, either because of their mass consumption policy or because of the little awareness they take regarding the environment. However, in my opinion, as consumers we have great power when deciding who to support <\/strong> and in this way we also create an impact so that they begin to have a more sustainable look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can, avoid single-use products.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That is why responsible consumption is essential, <\/strong> but we should not judge other people who are not on our same path or who do not do \"enough\" according to our standards. I think the best thing is always to try to help and inform <\/strong> others, but always from a place of respect, with the idea of being able to complement each other as a society <\/strong> and not doing it for the simple fact of feeling \"better\" than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Use what you already have.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many times we get so excited about wanting to change our lifestyle and find great sustainable products, but we forget that sometimes we already have products that can perform the same function. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also happens that we have products that are not so \"sustainable\", they continue to fulfill their function but we want to change them for those that are. In that case let's finish using the \"unsustainable\" product <\/strong> and then buy another one that is closer to our ideals, as long as we can of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The menstrual cup may seem a bit shocking at first, but honestly it is the most comfortable and hygienic to use <\/strong>. In addition to lasting between 5 to 10 years <\/strong>, you avoid all the waste of wipes or tampons so you end up saving and taking care of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time it may take you a little to get used to, but you will see that after a few days will be your best friend 4 life. <\/strong> Find her on the web at Pink Lady <\/a> (Uruguay) and look at all the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Garden at home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Has anyone else in quarantine become obsessed with plants? I think now we are all plant lovers <\/strong>, so having a garden at home is something you are going to love doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands of ways to make one, if you have a balcony or patio you can find a thousand videos on YouTube of how to do it, you will see your own food grow and of course save a lot. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Second hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second hand stores have become \"the it place\" to go shop in recent years, which is great for the environment and for your economy. <\/strong> The best thing is that you can find thousands of garments or products that are in perfect condition. conditions <\/strong> and give them a new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is perfect for those times that we need something but we cannot acquire it from a company with our same ideals, since many times the price is higher and with sustenance. It is a better option than acquiring something new in a fast-fashion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
