Easy on the Earth: 10 Eco-Conscious Strategies for Daily Living
In the world of eco-friendly living, Tammy Strobel stands out as a beacon of inspiration. This passionate advocate for sustainable and simple living shares her wisdom through articles, talks, and recommendations, all aimed at helping individuals reduce their environmental impact.
Strobel, the author of the article you're reading now, shops locally at farmer's markets to support her community and minimize food miles. She's also delved into the art of sashiko, a Japanese practice of visible mending, demonstrating her commitment to preserving and reusing.
When it comes to reducing plastic use, Strobel advocates for using reusable bags and containers, choosing products with minimal packaging, and avoiding single-use plastics. She encourages shopping secondhand to decrease demand for new, often plastic-wrapped items.
In terms of energy conservation, Strobel suggests using energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights and electronics when not in use, insulating homes, and even considering solar power. She promotes the books "All We Can Save" by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine K. Wilkinson, and "Plastic Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too" by Beth Terry.
Strobel also champions sustainable transportation. She encourages the use of public transport, cycling, walking, and electric or hybrid vehicles. Carpooling is another method she supports to reduce the number of cars on the road.
Beyond these practical tips, Strobel offers a free copy of "The Simplicity Quick Start Guide: 25 Ways to Simplify Your Life in 10 Minutes or Less". She also recommends Project 333 or No Buy July as ways to stop buying unnecessary items.
Strobel's journey began with simplifying life, getting out of the work-spend cycle, decluttering, and managing money. She stopped buying new things and started taking better care of her existing belongings. She even started experimenting with composting and picking up trash for fun.
In addition, Strobel mentions the talk "The Best Thing You Can Do Is Not Buy More Stuff" and the podcast "How to Save a Planet". She also recommends "The Story of Stuff" by Annie Leonard and "All We Can Save", an anthology of writings by women at the forefront of the climate movement.
Lastly, Strobel promotes the talk "How to find joy in climate action" by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. Her work serves as a testament to the fact that small changes can make a big difference in our quest for a sustainable future.
