Balance Becoming Less

Bizz and Claire chat about how doing your best doesn't mean doing everything and that creating a balance in your life is the key to sustainability.

 

Concepts:

Focusing on one thing at a time
Doing research before diving in
Choosing to NOT do/use/have rather than finding an alternative
Don't need to fit all your waste in a jar to be low waste
Self care and self compassion
Just DO. Doing something is better than nothing, even if it's small.
Try to find the one thing with the biggest impact
Try to find the simplest thing 
Take into consideration other people in your life when making changes
New changes in life can mean going backward a bit
New job, new baby, new home, etc.



Specifics:

Public transportation 
Using it is the best way to make it better


Strategically choosing where you live 
Size
Location
Efficiency


Car share
Cycling
Meal planning
Shopping for food in bulk
Mending clothes
Visible mending


Compost alternatives to green bin for apartment dwellers
