How YOU can make a difference in 2023.

With 2023 on our doorstep, a fresh start might be just what you need. New year, new you!

Personal goals are important for your mental health, whether you want to quit smoking, get yourself to the gym or be greener, those endorphins will feel amazing once the task gets completed.

Hard work always pays off in the end, but what if we told you that you could make a difference by making subtle adjustments to your daily life?


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Take recycling, for instance, the three R’s are embedded into our philosophy for life from a young age, and rightly so! However, if you want to go one step further in the new year, try reusing it at home before directly disposing of it.

Takeaway and ice cream boxes make ideal lunch boxes or are great for storing leftover food in the fridge or freezer, meaning less cling film and plastic bags.

Not everyone’s perfect when it comes to recycling, but each year you can get one step closer. Focus on responsibly disposing of the little things every day, yes, it’s just a yogurt pot, but they all add up at the end of the week.

Bag It!

Everyone sells cool reusable bag designs these days, so find one which you’d like to show off around town and make sure you have it with you whenever you leave the house, so you never need to use a plastic bag again.

Green Gardens, Balconies, and Windowsills.

Plants will grow anywhere! So get your green fingers into practice and start planting for spring.

Growing plants and flowers for valuable wildlife like Bees can literally be a lifesaver – they love wildflower mixes as well as common sunflowers, honeysuckle, geraniums, and lots of common herbs which can double up as recipe and salad essentials like mint, oregano, sage, lavender, and rosemary!

Fruit trees are also wildlife friendly as well as baring delicious fruit which requires no effort at all, apart from picking and eating. Not only will you be contributing to a better planet but it’ll taste awesome, win–win!

If you're city-based, you can still get planting - did you know that houseplants not only cheer a room up but also can provide cleaner air for you, as well as enjoy your favourite tunes - apparently Jazz and classical music are houseplant hits among other music.



Eat Your Greens.

Speaking of yogurt pots, these are great for homemade work lunches, another way for you to look after your health and your planet! Buying food from the canteen or a takeaway for lunch can be high in salt and seriously wasteful, taking its toll on the environment and your wallet. Using your Tupperware collection by meal prepping for the week means you can control not only what you throw away, but how it gets thrown.

Laying the groundwork for a productive week can be as easy as taking 30 minutes on Sunday evening to put together a healthy lunch with enough vitamins to reach your potential each day. You’ll also be surprised how much money gets saved!

We all know that meat has a big impact on the planet, but it also tastes really good – so if you can’t face cutting it out – try reducing the amount you buy and buy better quality from farm-to-fork providers which haven’t got the carbon footprint of mass-produced meat. Even better buy it from a local organic farm shop if you can! It’ll taste all the richer having it as a special treat and knowing you’ve done something for the environment.

Save the Greens.

Saving money is as easy as switching off the lights as you leave a room or simply putting the right of water in your kettle before brewing your tea or coffee. These handy tips to save water and energy need to be put into practice now more than ever!

Did you know that switching all your light bulbs to LEDs can save you money and easily reduce your household carbon output?


Gift of a Lift.

Lift shares are a great way to save petrol money, halve the emissions as well as sharing the time and stress giving both of you a little extra time in the day!
