How you can start living more sustainably

Adopting a sustainable lifestyle is gaining popularity worldwide, fronted by environmentalists embracing practical actions to lead the cause. Here’s how you can be a part of the green movement. Across the globe, climate change and the depletion of natural resources are driving a growing interest among consumers to lead a more sustainable lifestyle. These findings were established through Globescan’s study on understanding the mindsets of people around the world; particularly what allows or prohibits them from being more sustainable in their everyday lives. A healthy majority of people — some 61% — are ready and willing to adjust their current lifestyle to fit a more sustainable approach in a bid to enhance their lives, that of others around them and for the better good of the environment. Perhaps more encouragingly, 31% expressed that they have already made significant shifts in their lifestyle habits to reflect a more environmentally-conscious one. Taking this step does not necessarily mean making major upheavals to your daily routine. With small, calculated changes, there are practical ways you can adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
