Reusable Cups

New Yorkers love their coffee, and when you’re there on vacation, there’s no doubt you’ll have a few cups yourself. But, in a lot of coffee shops, no matter if you’re taking it to go or having it there, you will get a disposable cup. This can get really wasteful, so instead, pack a cup from home so you can reuse them.

Pizza

Pizza is an inevitable part of coming to New York, and no matter where you go, it tastes delicious. However, if you want to be less wasteful, make sure you find a recycling bin after so you don’t make more waste from them.

Public Transport

New York traffic is no joke, and even if it’s the summer and it seems like too much work to take the bus or train, do your best to use public transit as much as you can to cut down on your carbon footprint.

Avoid Plastic

Plastic waste is a big threat to our environment and unfortunately, it can also be found in our clothes. Fibers such as polyester, nylon, and rayon are all made from plastic, so try to avoid these if you want to live sustainably.

Shop Less

Let’s face it – we all have a bunch of clothes we rarely ever get to wear. Avoid this by spending more money into fewer pieces that you really like. This way you’ll buy quality clothes that you’ll wear for a longer time.

Second Hand Clothing

Hand-me-downs can be just as beautiful and trendy as new clothes. Next time you decide to go shopping, visit one of your local second-hand shops or try to find some vintage pieces on online shops like eBay.

Disposables

Whether it is plastic utensils, fast fashion, or buying produce out of season, all of these things do not promote sustainability because they don’t have a long shelf life. Instead, everything you use for food and entertainment should be reusable, buy your clothes either second hand and or with high-quality materials so they will last, and only buy food that is in-season to promote sustainable agriculture.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon emitted into the atmosphere is something that is destroying the earth, so to live more sustainably, try cutting down on your carbon emissions. This means taking public transit, walking, or cycling more instead of using a car. Also, trying to go on planes less frequently and when you do, try going on eco-friendly planes that offset their carbon emission by planting trees.

Reorder

Instead of going out and buying all new items for each room, see if you can switch around some objects or pieces of furniture around your house. Often you’ll find that you’re not tired of your things as much as they’ve gotten stale. By moving things around, you will save yourself a lot of time and money rather than buying new.

Second Hand

If you do decide you need some new items, go for things that are antique or second hand. This greatly cuts down or resources and waste, and will also guarantee that whatever you buy will be totally unique. Also, buying second hand is normally a lot cheaper than buying new, which is always a plus.

Save Materials

If you decide you want to paint a room and you buy a plastic tarp, brushes, and more, make sure to properly clean and store everything so they can be used again! There’s no point in throwing everything away and buying the same things again if you decided to paint something else a few months or even a year later.
