Simply put, sustainable living means leading a lifestyle that attempts to reduce our use of the Earth\u2019s natural resources. Essentially it means changing how you live your life and how you consume products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you might think that sustainable living means a complete lifestyle overhaul, this isn\u2019t true. Start with small steps, and introduce a few new habits at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have some easy tips below that will help you to start living more sustainably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start Using Natural Cleaners<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use natural cleaners to help reduce the number of chemicals introduced to our water streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/ladelle-tile-and-floor-cleaner-pink-grapefruit-pomegranate-1l.html?utm_source=MB_Blog&amp;utm_medium=Ladelle&amp;utm_campaign=SustainableLiving\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ladelle-All-Natural-Floor-Cleaner.jpg\" alt=\"Floor cleaner made from natural ingredients.\" class=\"wp-image-5505\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ladelle-All-Natural-Floor-Cleaner.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ladelle-All-Natural-Floor-Cleaner-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ladelle-All-Natural-Floor-Cleaner-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Ladelle Tile &amp; Floor Cleaner Pink Grapefruit &amp; Pomegranate \u20ac17.95<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ladelle All Natural is a plant-based cleaning and care range. With a particular focus on natural and eco-friendly ingredients, this range is vegan and cruelty-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start Using Products With Recyclable Packaging<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know that plastic takes millions of years to break down. Also, only 14% of global plastic is recycled. Because of this, many brands have made the switch to alternative forms of packaging. The cosmetics sector has particularly embraced this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moss of the Isles sell their products in gorgeous frosted green bottles that are 100% recyclable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/moss-of-the-isles-quiet-body-oil-100ml.html?utm_source=MB_Blog&amp;utm_medium=MOTI&amp;utm_campaign=SustainableLiving\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MOTI.jpg\" alt=\"Skincare in recyclable packaging.\" class=\"wp-image-5506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MOTI.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MOTI-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/MOTI-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Moss Of The Isles Quiet Body Oil \u20ac55.00<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Field Day is especially committed to sustainability.

When you buy something, ask yourself; \u201cAm I going to use this once and throw it away?\u201d If the answer is yes, find a reusable alternative. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of using plastic straws, swap them for a reusable Stainless Steel option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/stainless-steel-straw-set.html?utm_source=MB_Blog&amp;utm_medium=StainlessSteelStrawSet&amp;utm_campaign=SustainableLiving\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Stainless-Steel-Straws.jpg\" alt=\"Stainless steel, reusable straws\" class=\"wp-image-5508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Stainless-Steel-Straws.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Stainless-Steel-Straws-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Stainless-Steel-Straws-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Stainless Steel Straw Set \u20ac7.95<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than cling film, wrap your lunch in plant-based food wraps. Made from&nbsp;ethically sourced soy wax and cotton, our Bees Wraps are washable, reusable and completely biodegradable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=bees%20wrap&amp;utm_source=MB_Blog&amp;utm_medium=BeesWrap&amp;utm_campaign=SustainableLiving\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bees-Wrap.jpg\" alt=\"Reusable sandwich wraps\" class=\"wp-image-5509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bees-Wrap.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bees-Wrap-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Bees-Wrap-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Bees Wrap Lunch Pack Set of 3<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plastic water bottles are a major contributor to waste in our environment.

The vacuum insulation technology means that that bottle is leak-proof and condensation free &#8211; perfect when you are on the go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start Burning Natural Candles<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paraffin candles, the most common type available, have chemicals added to them and can produce black soot when burned. This stays in the home and can have a negative effect on the air quality. On the other hand, beeswax is the only naturally occurring wax. When burned, they produce negative ions which help to naturalise pollutants in the air.&nbsp; Essentially, they clean the air for you. Brookfield Farm has a beautiful range of candles created from beeswax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/brookfield-farm-pure-beeswax-6-hour-candle-set-%20of-two.html?utm_source=MB_Blog&amp;utm_medium=BrookfieldFarmPureBeeswaxCandlesS6&amp;utm_campaign=SustainableLiving\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Brookfield-Farm.jpg\" alt=\"Candles made from beeswax\" class=\"wp-image-5511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Brookfield-Farm.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Brookfield-Farm-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Brookfield-Farm-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Brookfield Farm Pure Beeswax 6 Hour Candles Set of 2<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start Making Smarter Fashion Choices<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe that you can still be a fashionista and live a sustainable life.
