Here at Sugarhouse we are very aware of the current issues surrounding the environment. There are endless documentaries being broadcast and the sound of David Attenborough's pleas are enough to make everyone want to do something to help! At the end of the day, it’s our generation that's going to start to see the detrimental effects that careless waste and pollution are having on our beautiful planet. If we can start to make even the smallest changes in our own habits, it will all contribute to the bigger picture.
There is a ton of information online on ways we can help the environment, and some of it can be quite daunting! We know not everyone can change to an off grid totally green lifestyle, but actively making a few small changes in your life will make such a difference. It only takes a couple of seconds to look at wildlife charity pages, and climate change websites to remind yourself why it’s really important that you recycle that milk bottle instead of throwing it in the bin!
The Green Pledge that we are making, will be focussing on a few key points which we believe will help us to reduce our own carbon footprint - maybe you could use some of our ideas to tackle your own!
If we can do it, so can you! The dreadful images of Turtles with packaging stuck round their shells, or sea birds with plastic bags in their stomachs alone should be enough for everyone to do their bit to help the environment! Although we'll never stop climate change, we can all do our bit! Even using reusable packaging instead of buying new bags every time you’re shopping can help!
There are at least two zero-waste shops based in Leeds, and utilising these would be a great way to cut down on unnecessary packaging and kick start your green pledge! If you haven't yet visited these yet, check out the links below to find out more!
We'd love to hear your thoughts on what else you think we can do to cut down our carbon footprint, or let us know what you're doing to cut yours!
