  • How to make every day World Environment Day

    To commemorate World Environment Day on June 5, we’re sharing actionable tips to live more sustainably and reduce your environmental footprint.

    New Zealand landscape - Piha Beach

    Incorporating eco-friendly habits into your daily routine can have a significant impact on both your health and the environment. Here are some practical tips to get you started:

    • Embrace eco-friendly fitness routines
      Embrace eco-friendly fitness routines

      Engage in zero-waste workout routines at home to reduce your carbon footprint. Invest in high-quality durable workout gear that lasts longer and consider at-home workouts or outdoor exercises to minimise resource use. Using reusable water bottles and recycling old workout gear are simple steps that contribute to sustainability1.

    • Sustainable eating habits
      Sustainable eating habits

      Adopting a sustainable diet can benefit both personal health and the planet. Start by reducing meat consumption and opting for more plant-based meals. Plan your meals to minimise food waste and consider growing your own produce. Buying local and organic foods supports sustainable agriculture and reduces transportation emissions2.

    • Mindfulness practices in nature
      Mindfulness practices in nature

      Connecting with nature through mindfulness practices can enhance your wellbeing while fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment. Practice yoga or meditation outdoors and take time to enjoy natural surroundings. This helps reduce stress and promotes a sense of calm and connection with the Earth3.

    • Support sustainable transportation
      Support sustainable transportation

      Choose sustainable transport options like walking, biking, or using public transport whenever possible. These choices not only reduce your carbon footprint but also promote physical activity and improve overall health4.

    • Buy local
      Buy local

      Support local produce in Aotearoa for fresher, more nutritious food, and a stronger community. Buying local boosts the local economy by creating jobs and keeping money within the community and cuts down on transportation emissions and waste.  Local produce also retains higher nutrient levels5.

    • Compost food scraps
      Compost food scraps

      Composting food scraps is an excellent way to reduce landfill waste and create nutrient-rich soil for your garden. It’s a simple process that can make a big difference in waste management and sustainability6.

    • Support sustainable businesses
      Support sustainable businesses

      Choose to support companies that prioritise sustainability and ethical practices. These businesses often offer eco-friendly products and services, contributing to a greener economy. Research and buy from brands that align with your environmental values. Companies like Ecostore, Dazz and Ethique offer eco-friendly alternatives to household and personal products, such as shampoo bars and concentrated kitchen sprays, helping to reduce plastic bottle use.

    • Plant native flora
      Plant native flora

      Planting native flora in your garden can support local ecosystems and bee populations, which are crucial for biodiversity. Bees play a vital role in pollinating plants, and by providing them with a habitat, you’re contributing to a healthier environment7. Cordylines, flax, hebe, hoheria, olearia and tea tree are great starter plants.

    Remember, every small step counts. By incorporating sustainable habits into your daily life, you contribute to a healthier planet and a healthier you.
