It takes practice to live your life sustainably and it doesn’t happen overnight. Over time, small daily actions can become habits. But where should we start? By identifying the values that drive us, we can focus on actions that support those values. Sustainable habits that reflect and support our values are more likely to become enduring habits. Know What You Value We organize our lives around the values we hold. These are ideas, things, people, and practices we hold dear. For example: Sleeping eight hours a night Reading to my kids at bedtime Calling my Mom daily Eating meals as a family Of course, our value system should extend beyond ourselves and our immediate family: Shopping at farmers markets because I want to support local businesses Planting native trees and plants to support local pollinators Not watering my lawn to conserve water. https://earth911.com/inspire/developing-habits-for-a-sustainable-life/
