Tips on how to be more sustainable

Sustainability helps to save the environment and conserve our natural resources. It is everyone’s responsibility to care for and protect our environment. So what can you do to live a more sustainable lifestyle and contribute to saving our environment? Here are some simple tips on how you can embrace sustainability together with CRIMSON RED!

Tip #1 - Reduce the use of plastics 

Plastics are non-biodegradable materials that cannot decompose and break down easily, which are incredibly harmful to our environment and wildlife. Hence, we should reduce the use of plastics through:

1. Instead of using plastic straws, opt for metal straws, reusable straws, eco-friendly biodegradable straws made of bamboo, wheat, or paper, or opt for a no-straw option. 
2. Secondly, bring your own reusable shopping bags or market trolley for grocery shopping instead of using plastic bags and generating unnecessary plastic waste. 
3. Thirdly, when buying takeaway, bring along and use your own reusable container and bottle, such as using Tupperware.

Tip #2 - Opt for sustainable transportation

Instead of driving your own car, choose a more sustainable mode of transportation such as taking public transport like Bus, LRT and MRT, cycling, carpooling or walking. 

Tip #3 - Reduce fashion waste

Huge numbers of textile waste are generated every year, which is harmful and unsustainable to our environment. To reduce fashion and textile waste, you can:

1. Reuse unwanted clothes and upcycle them or DIY into tote bags, blankets, or pillowcases. 
2. Purchase second-hand clothes instead of brand new clothes. 
3. Purchase from brands or company that sells sustainable clothes or that emphasis significantly on sustainability 
4. Donate your unwanted clothes that are still in good condition to charity
