Not having a lot of trash and packaging ensures a simpler life. Sustainability and Minimalism go hand in hand. You can limit packaging and trash by purchasing or growing fresh produce. Farmers markets are a great resource, you bring your reusable bags and you can buy fruit and vegetables without extra packaging. You can eat what is fresh in the season and only purchase the amount you need. You don’t have to break down a lot of packaging and take it to the trash. If stores or activities are nearby walking eliminates the need for gas or charging and is good exercise. There also is an ROI on Sustainability for example my work has free charging for electric cars which saves money and time locating a gas station and no key so no searching for your lost car key. Exchanging clothes with friends and family or shopping at reusable clothing stores is another budget-friendly option. Next time we can chat about simple recipes and cooking.
