For decades now, our planet has been sending us signals! Between ecological disasters and global warming, our earth keeps asking for help. What if in this new year, we made resolutions for our dear blue planet ? What impact do we have on the environment ? What new daily gestures can we adopt to save it ?
We are opening up a few avenues for reflection !
Let's consume less and better.
We live in a society where our irrational consumption demands a large quantity of natural resources from our planet. For example, the mass production of plastic childcare equipment such as car seats or strollers is extremely polluting. But solutions exist!
Why not move towards an economy of functionality? This means selling the use of a product and not the product itself. This makes it possible to reduce its production by sharing it. Renting a childcare product is an excellent example!
Familib has listed a few products for you to rent rather than buy!
Have you heard about Fast Fashion?
It is the fast production of clothing in large quantities. Responding to the demand for new collections, it represents one of the most polluting activities in the world.
Most of this pollution is caused by the transportation of products from one end of the planet to the other. But also by the use of non-renewable materials such as polyester, the cultivation of cotton which is very water-intensive and the use of polluting chemical processes such as dyeing and washing.
To remedy this, let's make a gesture by thinking more about second-hand or second-hand products. Ask about sales depots near you! Familib advises you the sales depot two times 9 in the 18th or Bambino in the 15th district of Paris.
There are also associations such as Emmaüs. We thus give a second life to objects or clothes destined to be thrown away. The watchword is recycling!
How about trying eco-mobility?
As we know, travelling by car every day pollutes our planet enormously because of the CO2 released into the air. In addition, it represents an important noise pollution: horns, engine noise, traffic jams ... Enough to get an early morning headache!
Let's opt for a more sustainable mobility when the opportunity arises. When we can, why not try to get to work or do our errands by public transit, carpooling or even better by bike. By adopting these travel alternatives from time to time, our environmental impact will already have decreased!
Reducing plastic packaging and waste means saving the world!
Let's continue our good resolutions by consuming more zero-waste products.
Reusable dozens of times, this allows us to move towards the disappearance of packaging and plastic waste that is so polluting for our planet.
Familib advises you to visit the Lamazuna store located in the 10th district of Paris: offering zero waste cosmetic products, it will allow you to familiarize yourself with this new way of consumption!
Also think about buying in bulk and don't forget to bring your cloth bag with you. Our partner Bulko in Lyon offers a wide range of products sold without disposable packaging, from fresh products to dry products, including cosmetics and cleaning products.
Let's apply in 2021 these small daily gestures, our planet will thank us for it.
