The New Year signifies fresh beginnings, and what better way to start than by embracing eco-friendly habits that benefit both you and the planet? In this blog, we'll dive into the realm of green resolutions, exploring simple yet impactful practices like bird feeding, garden composting, and kitchen composting that can transform your lifestyle while making a positive environmental impact.

Embracing Bird Feeding for a Greener Tomorrow

Bird feeding isn’t just a delightful hobby; it’s an act of nurturing wildlife and contributing to biodiversity. A resolution to feed birds in your yard or balcony not only brings joy as you witness colourful visitors but also aids in preserving local bird populations. Opt for sustainably sourced bird feed and consider providing water and shelter for these feathered friends. Pop on over to our Winter Sale to Save on a whole range of seeds, feeds and feeders

Garden Composting: Turning Waste into Gold

Transforming kitchen scraps and garden waste into nutrient-rich compost is a powerful way to reduce landfill waste while enriching your garden. Resolve to start or improve your composting efforts in the garden. Composting not only diverts organic waste from landfills but also enhances soil health, fosters plant growth, and reduces the need for chemical fertilisers. View our range of Garden Composting kits here.

Kitchen Composting: Small Changes, Big Impact

A green New Year's resolution focused on kitchen composting is a simple yet impactful step towards sustainability. Set up a composting system in your kitchen using a compost bin or container. Fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and more can be repurposed into nutrient-dense compost for your garden, closing the loop on organic waste. Luckily we have offers on our range of kitchen composting solutions like Bokashi Kits and Wormeries in our Winter Sale!

Embracing a Holistic Green Lifestyle

While bird feeding and composting are fantastic green resolutions, there's a plethora of other eco-conscious habits you can adopt. Consider reducing single-use plastics, supporting local farmers, practicing sustainable transportation, and advocating for environmental causes. These actions collectively contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly way of life.

1. Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Commit to reducing your consumption of single-use plastics. Carry a reusable water bottle, bring your own bags to the grocery store, and opt for products with minimal packaging.

2. Switch to Renewable Energy: Consider transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar or wind power if feasible for your home. If not, explore options to support renewable energy initiatives in your area.

3. Support Local Farmers: Make an effort to buy more locally produced foods. Visit farmer's markets or join a community-supported agriculture program to reduce the carbon footprint of your meals.

4. Reduce Food Waste: Beyond composting, actively work on reducing food waste by meal planning, proper storage, and using leftovers creatively. Donate excess food to local food banks if possible.

5. Practice Sustainable Transportation: Opt for walking, biking, carpooling, or using public transportation when feasible. Reduce your carbon footprint by minimising the use of personal vehicles.

6. Educate and Advocate: Share your eco-friendly journey with friends and family. Encourage them to join you in adopting sustainable practices. Additionally, support or participate in environmental advocacy efforts in your community.

7. Conscious Consumerism: Before making a purchase, consider the environmental impact. Choose products made from sustainable materials, support ethical brands, and invest in quality items that last longer.

8. Plant Trees or Native Plants: Planting trees or native plants not only helps the environment but also supports local ecosystems and biodiversity.

9. Reduce Water Consumption: Implement water-saving practices at home, such as fixing leaks, installing water-efficient appliances, and being mindful of water usage during daily activities.

10. Educate Yourself: Continuously educate yourself about environmental issues, climate change, and sustainable living practices. Stay informed and engaged to make more informed choices.
