🥦 5 simple ways to act more sustainably when shopping
Small decisions – big impact
Sustainability doesn’t just start with sorting waste – it starts at the supermarket. With a few simple adjustments, you can make your shopping more environmentally friendly without turning your whole life upside down. Here are five tips that you can implement straight away.
1. buy only what you need
The classic – and yet often underestimated. If you plan your shopping beforehand, you can avoid impulse purchases and food waste.

2. use reusable bags & containers
Whether fabric bags, vegetable nets or cans: once purchased, they last forever – and replace countless items of disposable packaging.
3. think regionally & seasonally
Local produce consumes less energy during transportation. If in doubt, a quick look at the country of origin – or the current seasonal calendar app – will help.
4. tarpaulin with remnants
A leftovers day not only saves time, but also money and resources. Simply combine what’s left creatively – or include it in the planning right away.
5. buy less, but more consciously
Sometimes sustainable shopping also means consciously deciding against “more”. It’s better to have few, good ingredients – instead of too much in stock, which spoils.
Conclusion:
Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. Those who plan in a more targeted way not only save resources, but also time and nerves – and automatically live more consciously.
