In case you’re looking for ways to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, summer is the perfect time to make some changes. Here are some simple swaps for a more eco-friendly summer.

Sustainable Commute

Summer is the perfect time to reduce your carbon footprint because you can easily choose sustainable commuting options such as walking or cycling.

Sustainable fashion

Fast fashion is one of the major polluting industries in the world, which is why upcycling and second-hand clothes are rising in popularity right now. In case you want to help the environment, you can update your wardrobe with unique pieces from second-hand stores or maybe by swapping clothes with your friends.

Eat Locally

Buying locally grown fruits and veggies instead of shopping at the supermarket is a greener and cheaper option and you’ll definitely get fresher produce this way.

Non-Chemical Sunscreen

The chemicals in most sunscreens are extremely harmful to the environment and ocean life, which is why switching to natural and non-chemical sunscreens this summer is a great eco-friendly alternative.
