- 11. Solution - Sustainable Living
- 12. What is sustainable living • A lifestyle choice that seeks to meet one’s present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. • It is an attempt to reduce an individual's or community’s use of natural and personal resources. • Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption, diet, natural resources consumption etc.
- 13. Myths about Sustainable Living • It means boring life • It is expensive • It is impossible / Difficult / too complex
- 14. 2 elements of sustainable living Conserve Natural Resources Reduce Carbon Footprint
- 15. What is Carbon footprint • A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide— released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity. • It is usually measured as tons of CO2 emitted per year, a number that can be supplemented by tons of CO2-equivalent gases, including methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gases.
- 16. Major Lifestyle aspects affecting Carbon Footprint • Electricity – 24.9% • Transportation – 14.3 • Food – 13.8% • Fashion – 10%

- 19. How Do I Live Sustainable Life
- 22. R = REFUSE • Think before consuming. Think before buying. Say NO to things you don’t need! • Think again-“DO I REALLY NEED IT?” – Can I manage without it? Can I choose to buy it later? – Do I really need a new car, packaged food, a new dress or that pair of shoes? – Walk or cycle vs motorized transport – Natural light vs electricity – Avoid single-use plastic – Carry my own water, shopping bag, food?
- 24. R = REDUCE • Reduce: Use as little as possible OR use things that needs lesser resources – Travel smart • Public transport, car pooling or a bicycle? • Fuel-efficient vehicles, / Electric Vehicles • Optimize the number of trips? – Use less water • Bucket over a shower? • Water-saving nozzles? • Close tap while brushing or shaving? – Consume less electricity – Use things that need less resources – Turn Vegan? Buy Local? Prefer goods with less packaging? – Any kind of WASTE of food, water energy should be strict no no
- 26. R = REUSE • Reuse: Don’t just throw it away, but reuse • Can I reuse what I have already used? May be for a different purpose? – Its possible to reuse many things – Carry Bags, Paper, – Borrow / Rent / Lend / Share – Don’t throw away , donate – Upcycling clothes , Furniture etc
- 28. R = RECYCLE • Recycle: If you must throw away, recycle instead – Segregate waste – Dry / Wet / Electric / Medical – Recycle water through STP or other processes
- 30. R = REPLENISH • Replenish: Add back to environment – Plant more trees – Harvest rainwater – Renewable Energy Sources – Wind / Solar
- 32. R = Raise Your Voice • Raise Your Voice - Vocal for sustainability – Demand for eco friendly products – Demand for eco friendly policies – Complaint if you see something wrong – Share your suggestions – Share your stories to inspire others – Make best use of social media

Editor's Notes
- Climate change and health (who.int)
- What are the Sustainable Development Goals? The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 SDGs are integrated—that is, they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. Through the pledge to Leave No One Behind, countries have committed to fast-track progress for those furthest behind first. That is why the SDGs are designed to bring the world to several life-changing ‘zeros’, including zero poverty, hunger, AIDS and discrimination against women and girls. Everyone is needed to reach these ambitious targets. The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.

Many of us do not even realize when we are doing this; but anytime you leave your electronics plugged in overnight, drive somewhere you could have walked or throw away something that could have been reused or recycled, you live beyond your energy means. The effects of such actions are not noticeable immediately, but they have long-term consequences. When we look at this topic, we like to do a poll and asks others to describe sustainability in two words. Most people say something along the lines of: environment or green. While these answers are common, there is a difference between “being green” and “being sustainable”. This blog post will explore what sustainable living is, why it’s important to do so and some tips to help you get started. What is Sustainable Living? Sustainable living requires a lifestyle shift that must be adopted by individuals, businesses and government entities. Simply recycling when we think of it is not enough to change the destructive patterns that have already begun to take place as a result of over-consumption. A sustainable lifestyle takes into account eating, transportation, socialization, energy use, waste disposal and more. Simply put, being sustainable is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This means that whatever is being done has the least impact, the least waste and is a cycle or means that can be repeated indefinitely without cumulative damage or harm to living things (1). Living sustainably requires us to develop sustainable habits that we put into practice every day; not just when we think about it. Why Live Sustainably? According to the Sustainable Lifestyles Innovation Brief released in 2006, we would need five planets for everyone in the world to consume resources in the same quantities and at the same rates as those in North America. Developed nations have the most access to resources and therefore the greatest impact on the environment. Twenty percent of the population is responsible for 86% of resource consumption. So although your lifestyle may not seem wasteful, you have more access to environmental and economic resources than the majority of the planet does. As long as one-fifth of the population continues to use this huge majority of resources, we are not living sustainably. Sustainability is not just an environmental issue; it’s also an economic one. Not only does one-fifth of the population have access to most of the planet’s environmental resources, we have access to most of the planet’s economical resources including education and healthcare. Sixty percent of the global south do not have access to basic sanitation and 25% do not have adequate housing. We have more jobs, more land and more information available to help us make decisions about our health and our families than most of the world. Unless standards of living change, inhabitants of developing nations will continue to be plagued by poverty and malnourishment, while their populations continue to grow. Sustainability can be part of the answer to alleviating poverty worldwide. Sustainability doesn’t just mean reducing energy use and emissions; it means increasing access to jobs, promoting responsible trade and decreasing poverty rates. Rising Rates of Consumption The 2009 Energy Outlook report predicted a 44% surge in energy consumption globally between 2006 and 2030 and a 73% increase in non-OECD nations (many of which are developing countries). Population density increased by more than 250% in the last 50 years. As global population increases, demand for energy and other resources increases with it. Current rates of consumption will not be enough to sustain this demand. Though the effects of our increased use of resources may not be immediately noticeable to us, they have begun to take effect in alarming ways. Unsustainable resource use has already led to climate change, increased waste, air pollution and water shortages. We must reverse this effect in order to sustain increased population and increased resource demand.

Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate. Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods WWF works to protect. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which we are already experiencing.
