Paradise City Festival is one of the most popular, because of its green policy. It takes place every year in city Perk and it last for 3 days. Organizers have taken sustainability in terms of providing the greenest festival experience possible. Their mission is to show other people that large gatherings don’t have to be always associated with damaging the planet. They truly believe that people after a visit could implement some of the changes to their own lives. Moreover, Paradise City Festival acknowledges the costs of sustainability, adapting spaces and places to meet its mission with 10 step process: green energy, food, waste, water, awareness, paper, communication, CO2, camping and transport. They are all explained very precisely on their website. It’s just worth noticing that these 10 steps toward sustainability involve a lot more than simple carbon footprint reduction. They are mainly showing a walk toward a sustainable future, both within our matter and for the coming generation

The part of living sustainably is to give back the Earth what we received from it. The great example is composting, which is a process that turns food scraps into usable soil. It creates a humus (rich soil) that provides lots of nutrients to all sorts of different plants. The key to composting is to keep balance between 3 elements: water, greens, and browns. Greens are “wet” products (flowers, coffee grounds, fruit peels) that are filled with nitrogen. Browns are “dry” products (sticks, old leaves, newspaper) that are carbon rich. You have to layer browns on the bottom and greens on top. By doing it you will not have a smelly pile. And water just keeps moisture. On average, it takes about 3 months for full decomposition. It will check your patience. But overall, it’s a good take on changing your lifestyle to better. And doing it can help you reduce the amount of food waste you send to a landfill. sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-uxdrMt4k0 https://www.npr.org/2020/04/07/828918

I want to introduce you to Australian family who lives sustainably over a decade. Helen, Sam and his son live in the suburbs of Melbourne. In 2004, they moved to a house and changed it to eco-friendlier. Their decision was motivated by their concern about the environment. They started to prioritize living ecologically. Although the change wasn’t overnight, it grew on them and the outcome became their motivation. Since that, their house had a garden with veggie beds and fruit trees. And crops were later used to prepare a meal. They have installed solar panels on the roof. Also, they started to prepare food by solar dish which works the same as a range. Additionally, couple created biogas digester, which used food waste to prevent cooking gas and hot water. Their behavior became true inspiration for others. As Sam said, we shouldn’t wait for government to make a change but make the first step by ourselves. source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeNaMlibiak

The world now consumes about 150 billion new pieces of clothing every year. Almost 2 billion kilograms of them end up on landfills. Brands are simply littering our planet and killing it by chemicals used in production of clothes and shipping process. People can fight against that issue by shopping garments with sustainable brands, which are ethical and transparent from start to finish. They are choosing fabrics which are no harm for environment. In addition, some of the brands are using the leftover fabrics from luxury brands to produce their clothes. It’s not a secret that prices in sustainable brands sometimes can by too high. But there is the good alternative: shop in thrift shops, swap items with friends or redesigning clothes. By adopting these big steps, you are truly changing the world for better. And the next time, before purchasing something, think twice. Don’t let the brands force you to buy something just because it’s “trendy”. Here are some example of polish sustainable bra
