We’ve all been there. Standing in the supermarket aisle, wrestling with guilt over plastic packaging. Wondering if our individual choices really matter when the planet’s problems feel so overwhelming.
Lots of us struggle to make more sustainable choices. I am often asked what changes to make, which ones to prioritise, and whether small changes really make a difference.
These conversations led me to create this list – a collection of 52 simple, sticky, and shareable hacks.
These aren’t your typical sustainability tips that require major investments or complete lifestyle overhauls. You won’t find me pushing electric vehicles or heat pumps here. Instead, I’ve focused on something far more powerful: changes that stick.
The most crucial point about these hacks is that almost all of them will cost you nothing. That’s right. I’m here to shatter the myth that sustainable living requires deep pockets. In fact, some of these tips might save you money while reducing your environmental impact.
The 52 hacks are organised by season, giving you the flexibility to jump in wherever feels right. There’s no hierarchy here, no “do this first” mandate. Simply pick one hack per week that resonates with your current situation and keep going throughout the year.
What are you waiting for? Get cracking with my 52 Simple Sustainability Hacks!
