Not only will your carbon footprint get smaller, you\u2019ll also save money, save time and feel so much less stressed and overwhelmed. Lean living can be fun!\r\nUse your buying power\r\n\r\nCompanies want to sell services and products. That\u2019s their universial aim. Usually they also want to have happy customers, as those tend to buy again. By our decisions which products we buy we directly influence what companies produce.\r\nReduce waste\r\n\r\nWe don\u2019t need to reuse or recycle those things, that we don\u2019t have to begin with. What do we really need? Minimalism is not everbody\u2019s piece of cake, but conciously looking what we buy, which environmental costs are related to those products, is something that each of us can consider.\r\nReduce consumption\r\n\r\nLess is more. Do we really need to eat strawberries all year around? Isn\u2019t it enough (and actually something special to look forward to!) to buy them when they are in season? This french camembert (unless lucky you lives in France\u2026) is very tasty \u2013 but is this joy really worth the environmental costs?","link":"https:\/\/www.earthsquad.global\/pt-pt\/category\/reduce-pt-pt\/","name":"Reduzir","slug":"reduce-pt-pt","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.earthsquad.global\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/7559\/"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.earthsquad.global\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.earthsquad.global\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category\/"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.earthsquad.global\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/?categories=7559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
