Do you care about these tips for more conscious consumption?

1- Transform your rubbish from the sink into compost for house plants.

Composting is a process where organic matter from the garbage itself is transformed into fertilizer. The mechanics are very simple and you can buy a composter for just over a hundred reais online.

And you don't have to worry about space. There are already composters that are suitable for places with little space, so there is no excuse for having your own fertilizer.

Make a habit of refusing packaging. You don't need a bag from every store and you don't need a gift wrap for every item you buy, save. Also, when you can, take an ecobag to do your shopping, further reducing plastic consumption.

Conscious consumption goes beyond packaging consumption. Although that piece you don't use anymore doesn't usually go to the trash, it's kept in the back of the closet until you forget about it and end up buying another piece, accumulating more and more needlessly.

Brechós are a great alternative for those who want to buy parts and want to reduce their consumption. So, in addition to buying, when you can, a used clothes, donate your pieces that are stopped at home.
