It may sound super hard to change your lifestyle to adapt to a sustainable lifestyle but small frugal changes will lead you a long way and it may help our planet Earth.
When it comes to sustainable living, we're all familiar with the 5 R's (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle) – even if we don't practice them. The following are some unconventional strategies for becoming more environmentally friendly that I've discovered along the way.
Make Investments in Environmentally Conscious Businesses
Look for stocks of green companies, such as companies that provide clean energy or those that make solar panel parts or those that manufacture bioplastics, in the stock market. Green "sustainable" firms and projects are also the subject of a growing number of mutual funds. A simple technique to help achieve the goal of sustainability is to use this method. The stock prices of many of these companies are also on the rise, which means that they could yield excellent profits. Do your homework before you invest.
Delete All of Your Email Messages
We waste a lot of time and effort trying to sort through all of the spam and unread emails that clutter up our inboxes. Emails are stored on servers powered by fossil fuels that are on all the time. When you have an email in your inbox, every one of those emails uses energy. This is especially true for the bigger ones with attachments. Make it a habit to purge your inbox once every one or two weeks by going through and deleting all of your unread emails.
Be Sure To Save and Spread The Word About Eco-friendly Companies
To identify sustainable brands while looking for a specific item can be tough. The next time you go shopping, save a link to a green store online so you can quickly discover it. If you have friends who are also attempting to live more sustainably, consider passing along the names of eco-friendly companies you've come across.

To Keep track of Your Carbon Footprint-Use an App
On the Android playstore or App Store, there are a number of apps that can help you track your carbon impact. It's important to know your daily carbon footprint in order to make informed decisions about how you use the planet's resources. Using this information, you'll be able to identify areas in which you can improve. Friends can join you in carbon footprint challenges.
The UN carbon offset platform - enables you to measure and offset your carbon footprints.
Another software for calculating your daily carbon footprint that we came across is the Carbon Footprint & CO2 Tracker for Travel and Food App.
