12 Months of Sustainable Living

sustainable living monthly guide

At Old World New, 2019 is the year of being Sustainable IRL (in real life). What does this even mean? Each month this year, I will be diving into one subject and sharing as much about it with you as I can. This is a living document, so I’ll be updating this post and the main monthly posts every few weeks. Check back here whenever you need to catch up!

Luckily, this info should be relevant in the near future, so it doesn’t matter what month or year you join in. Make sure you hashtag is #SustainableIRL when you share how you’re using these or your own sustainable living tips with those you love and on the web and social media apps.

If you want to keep the conversation going, join us in the #SustainableIRL group!

Discarding the top of strawberries has been the norm my entire life. But why?

Eating the tops of strawberries is one tiny sustainable change that didn’t take a lot of effort. 

What’s one small eco-conscious change you’ve implemented that made you say “Why didn’t I think of this before?!” 💡✨
