The word “sustainability” is thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? Most people attach the word to a certain type of earthy-crunchy lifestyle that makes it seem unappealing or even unattainable.
Luckily, sustainability doesn’t necessarily mean that you will have to alter your entire routine, it just means that working towards more socially conscious decisions.
When I say socially conscious decisions, I don’t mean that you have to decide to give up your apartment and move into co-housing and maybe raise your own chickens—but if that’s what you’re into, I fully support you!
For me, making socially conscious decisions means being consistently aware of how our actions affect the community. Sustainability is really about improving our daily lives. It is about cutting our dependency on outside resources and supporting ourselves in a local level. Thinking globally and acting locally.
Sustainability requires self-reflection and it probably means giving up minor conveniences…
Becoming entirely self-sufficient may seem impossible, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on the idea! Small changes can make a huge difference!
Not that I’m trying to be a product pusher (wink wink), but here at Prosperity Candle, we work to create candles with a sustainable impact. All of our candle vessels can be reused or recycled, and our Eco Living Collection consists of candles made from recycled and repurposed glass, and even real soda bottles and coffee tins!
