Sustainable living with Charlotte Mei
Growing up, Charlotte Mei watched her father save mails printed on one side to reuse as scrap paper. This, and other sustainable habits she observed of her Dad, left an indelible mark and made her realise how small steps can go a long way in helping conserve the environment.
Today, the nutritionist is a sustainability advocate who grows her own vegetables, saves food scraps for composting, and—yes—reuses mail paper as notebooks.
She shares tips on how we can live sustainably through our everyday choices.
- Use laundry detergent sheets instead of liquid detergent
Laundry sheets are friendlier on the environment because they
•Use less packaging
•Are made of biodegradable materials
•Are lighter than liquid detergent, which translates into lower carbon emissions - Buy loose items when shopping for groceries and store them in a reusable bag
Buying loose items helps you reduce packaging. - Eat more plant-based foods
Going green includes eating green too! Plant-based foods generally emit less greenhouse gases than meat-based foods.
“Eat for your health and for the planet’s health!” says Charlotte.
