5 easy ways to live sustainably in your everyday life

You will pay more upfront when buying quality, but you’ll avoid contributing to the massive amount of fast fashion we discard each year.
Look for fashion made with natural fibers and dyes or upcycled materials like the reclaimed fishing nets /nylon or plastic bottles that are now used in sustainable swimwear.
Use reusable water bottles / cups and silicone pouches instead of disposable plastic, coffee cups with polystyrene lids and Ziplocs. Say no to straws and plastic cutlery.
Avoid chemicals that shouldn’t go down our drains, much less be absorbed into our bodies. Pay attention to the ingredients in your sunscreen: oxybenzone is dangerous to coral reefs.
Maintain the beauty of your swimwear and other synthetics by hand-washing. In a machine, synthetics shed microfibers that eventually wind up in the ocean.
