The Beginning of Sustainability

I cannot help but realized along the years of working in «ungewohnt» and with Salome, my whole outlook about the environment changed. I started to get curious about S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y. And as days passing by, I try to research and read more and more about sustainability, get myself curious about it and tried to find ways on how I can slowly apply it to my lifestyle. Before Salome introduced me «ungewohnt», I thought I was already Eco-Friendly. I mean, growing up in an Asian household, we have already general rules inside our house like Turn off the lights before we sleep or the general rule in every house I guess, is to “NEVER go out the house without turning off the lights. Also, like don’t waste food and don’t take more than what you need. I also thought I’m owning already “CONSCIOUS CLOSET”, Why? Because I grew up not having a lot of clothes in my closet. But then I realized, I’m not even at the tip of being sustainable. Since months I have been trying to be aware of what I am buying. Starting from the clothes especially to avoid Fast Fashion clothes. I always challenge myself to make careful choices first before I spend money. Saving and cutting down usage of plastics by using reusable bags at grocery store, avoiding buying plastic packages. Although I haven’t gone to a Zero Waste Lifestyle, let’s say I am starting to make it LOW WASTE LIFESTYLE instead. I think the most important thing is EDUCATION. And I am looking forward to have more knowledge regarding sustainability and hopefully this constant journey will bring me to self-improvement. The question is. Are you guys with me? Lyn
