What can I do ?
Guide


practical application guide to sustainable living in Japan (and beyond)

I talk to so many people who say that they like the idea of pursuing a environmentally low-impact lifestyle, but unfortunately so many fall short at the action stage because they don’t know how to practically apply a grand ideology such as ‘sustainable living’ to the everyday. The following is list of things that I’ve begin to practice in my daily life, or ideas that I’ve heard from others around me. These ideas are directly mainly at reducing environmental detriment, but many double as cost-effective tricks that can save money or improve diet quality as well. Many of these ideas are addressed in more detail on our site here at BEE SIG, so please follow up and email us if you have an additional questions or comments. Peace,
Salem (BEE SIG coordinator, February 2008)
