As we know, household waste is undoubtedly the scourge of the century. 1.3 billion tons of food are thrown away every year worldwide. So, this year, adopt a green resolution by preparing menus in advance to avoid waste. We buy the right quantities and keep the leftovers to make new dishes.

Furthermore, when it comes to cosmetics, you can use refillable packaging. At Terre de Mars, we offer you a selection of rechargeable products.

You will hold one of your green resolutions by adopting the KISS method for purchasing. That is to say, simply buying wisely and asking yourself the right questions:

• B for Need: what need does this object fulfill?
• I for Immediate: can you delay your purchase to take time to think about it?
• S for Similar: Do you already have a similar item?
• O for Origin: what is the origin of this product?
• U for Useful: Will I really need this item?

By adopting this ritual before all your purchases, you will be buying consciously and making a real gesture for the planet.

4- Recycle more

Thinking about recycling means, above all, adopting the logic of the 3 Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle. By reducing and reusing, you significantly save the planet's resources. What's more, you also reduce your carbon footprint. Finally, recycling is a civic gesture to avoid the landfilling of toxic materials while preserving air and water quality.

When it comes to items and clothing, don't throw them away. Consider thrift stores and collection points to give your belongings a second life. So in 2022, adopt a green attitude and sort through your closets.
