5 Ways to Live More Sustainably

09/26/19

Ways to Live More Sustainably | Marissa Vicario | Sustainability Car Kit

One // Make a Sustainability Car Kit. By 2025 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Reduce your use of plastic by filling a canvas bag with anything you may need on the go – a resusable water bottle, refillable mug, reusable straws and bamboo utensils – stash it in your car or desk drawer for easy and convenient access. 

Do your part to solve the single-use plastic problem by taking the Pledge Against Plastic. Ten people who pledge by October 14 will win a Sustainability Car Kit!

Two // Drive Less. Whether you choose to walk, ride a bike, carpool or take public transportation, you can use less fuel and reduce your carbon footprint by skipping unnecessary driving. That means less air pollution, noise pollution, carbon emission and greenhouse gas emission. 

Three // Recycle, Resell or Donate. Whether it’s trash, old clothes, furntiture or household items, consider selling, recylcing or donating anything you no longer need or use. Many non-profits accept tax-refundable donations, consignment and thrift stores will literally buy your old threads from you and some will even donate anything they won’t take for resale. 

Four // Buy Less. In a consumer-centric society, this one’s not always easy, but it’s worth it. When you do choose to buy, support local and ethically sourced brands. Choose to shope with Certified B Corporations which are legally bound to make sustainable decisions on behalf of their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment. Create a capsule wardrobe which allows you to mix and match many outfits from a select of a few essential items or consider a clothing rental service like Rent the Runway. 

Five // Reduce Household Energy Use. Besides the obvious ways like turning off lights when not in use and avoiding unnecessary water usage, choose energy-efficient appliances or make the switch to green power. Check with your energy provider regarding energy saving programs.

 Holistically Hot Transformation

How I Turned My Passion Into a Business: Next Generation.TV

As a new mom, I quickly discovered that there's a As a new mom, I quickly discovered that there's a lot of focus on "bouncing back" into exercise, work and intimacy and many of the moms who had babies at the same time as me seemed to be doing it a lot faster than I was. Because nobody ever told me it could take up to a year (or longer) to feel like myself again, I often wondered what was wrong with me. 

On my blog (link in profile or MarissaVicario.com/blog), I published an honest account of what my first year postpartum was actually like as I learned to navigate a new body with a new purpose, a baby that refused to sleep and of course, a pandemic. 

What I'm about to say I wish someone had told me 15 months ago: It’s ok to take as much time as YOU need to recover and even though you're a mom now, you WILL feel like yourself again! πŸ’šπŸ’‹πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§πŸ“Έ: @graceandfirephotography

I'M BACK ... and more thankful than ever for my he I'M BACK ... and more thankful than ever for my health! If you were following my stories earlier this week, you saw that I took some time off because of a corneal abrasion. It's now 90% healed. 

Valentina poked me in the eye on Saturday morning and by that night I couldn't open my eye. And because I couldn't open the injured eye, I couldn't open the other eye. 

It was both scary and frustrating. With both eyes closed, all I could do was sleep. So with the help of my husband who took on sole responsibility for Valentina, I slept all day Sunday and half the day Monday until I could get in to see my eye doctor. 

I joked to one of my friends that I finally got the mommy break I needed - just not the one I wanted! I also caught up on all my missed sleep for the year! 

But in all seriousness, with everything going on in the news I knew I needed the social media/tech break, I just wasn't taking it. I'm a firm believer that the Universe does for us that which we can't do for ourselves. This has always been true for me that when I most need a break, I'm forced to take one through Illness or injury. 

With Valentina being sick the first week of the year followed by my social media and technology hiatus, I fell even more behind than I already was. But in the grand scheme of things, none of that matters. 

I'm so thankful for my family’s health and even though I was injured, I actually feel refreshed. Next time I need a break, I'm giving myself permission to take one - and I hope you will too! πŸ’šπŸ’‹πŸ‘€

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Now let me tell you about this outfit. I know, I know it looks like basic black sweats but they’re better than basic - I’ve been living in these @monrow_official joggers (the softest ever) and this elevated cropped sweatshirt by @alala both courtesy of @renttherunway. Use my code RTRMARISSA this month for 40% off an 8 or 16 item plan. @rtrambassadors
So happy to be lifting heavy again πŸ’šπŸ’‹πŸ’ͺ🏻
