The short version:
We want to inspire everyone to live more ecological and sustainable in our own attempt to keep this beautiful planet as it is, restore it and keep it habitable for all living creatures. We want to provide information that is accessible, easy and as complete as possible.
The long version:
Living a sustainable lifestyle is not just a trend, it’s a movement and in our opinion the only way forward if we want to save this planet. With the increasing awareness of climate change and its devastating effects, more and more people are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and live a more environmentally friendly life. The Green Spirit is a website that aims to inspire and motivate others to embrace ecological and sustainable living.
We believe that living sustainably should not be a chore, but rather a way of life that enriches and enhances our everyday experiences. Our website offers a range of ideas for people who want to make positive changes in their lives. From simple DIY projects to comprehensive checklists, from products that are better choices to informative blogs. We provide practical guidance for people who want to reduce their impact on the planet.
One of our main goals is to encourage people to think beyond disposable, single-use items and separate trash. We suggest using reusable and plastic free alternatives such as shampoo bars, bamboo make up pads, reusable water bottles, olive oil as a hair mask and bringing your own bags to the store. These simple changes can have a huge impact on reducing the amount of waste that we generate.
We also emphasize the importance of using natural and eco-friendly products for personal care. This includes using organic tooth powder in a reusable jar, bamboo toothbrushes, natural body care products and organic skincare products. By choosing natural and organic products, we reduce the amount of chemicals that we expose ourselves and the environment to and of course the amount of microplastics that ends up in the ocean and our bodies.
In addition to personal care, we also advocates for eco-friendly home products. We suggests using low or zero VOC paint, repairing your wooded floor rather than replacing it and non-toxic carpet. We also recommend using energy-efficient light bulbs, air purifying houseplants, and smart thermostats. These changes can lead to significant energy savings and create a healthier home environment. With that we do advise to always use first what you already have. So for example, don’t throw out your mattress to buy a more eco friendly one if the current one is still in good condition.
We recognize that living sustainably can be challenging, especially for those who are just starting out. That’s why we provide a range of resources to help people transition to a more ecological and sustainable lifestyle. We offer practical guidance and inspiration to make the process easier for the starters and the more advanced people.
We also promote the idea of thrifted and second-hand clothes and furniture. By reusing items that have already been manufactured, we reduce the amount of resources needed to create new products. This also reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
We are not just about making individual changes, but also about inspiring others to take action. We highlight the importance of supporting businesses that share the same values of sustainability and ecological responsibility. By choosing to support eco-friendly businesses, we help create a more sustainable economy. This also includes local businesses who sell local products, this saves a significant amount of co2 by cutting out transport from another county.
Let’s embrace the spirit of sustainability and work towards a greener and healthier planet.
