The Zero-waste way to make sustainability the new luxury in your homes
As we are in the midst of tackling a global pandemic, we walk on unchartered territory of climate change. What most fail to realize is that the ‘change’ is already here and we are now looking at facing a global climate crisis. While people across the world are becoming more environmentally conscious, it is time we become more eco-friendly and adapt & adopt a sustainable lifestyle because after all isn’t sustainability the new luxury?
For many who believe a sustainable lifestyle = Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, the experts at J.J. Poonawala are here to tell you otherwise.
Rightly said, change begins from home and so here are 5 sustainable alternatives for you to incorporate into your homes with an added touch of polish & luxury.
Grow Your Own:
In a world of beg, borrow and steal what could be a greater luxury than growing your own?
A pre-defined open space is all you need to cleanse your home, inner self and environment as you can harvest your own produce organically with the leftover compost in your kitchens in aesthetic vases, asymmetrical pots, abstract holders and more! Not only will it be an ecofriendly approach to designing your home and lifestyle but it will also add that oomph factor, stemming from the richness and beauty of home-grown plants.
Bamboo products for the win:
Adding a lush and fresh touch to every home, Bamboo products are the most functional, flexible and long-lasting equipment to use as they are also stained, heat and water-resistant making them very easy to clean. These lightweight eye-pleasers are also portable, rendering them to be the opulent choice for any affair. Be it a décor piece or a functional utensil, Bamboo products are the jacks of all trades. So take your pick from an array of bamboo products including bamboo toothbrushes, bamboo straws, bamboo bottles, bamboo kitchenware, and so on, the variety is limitless and so are its benefits to the environment.
Upscaled produce bags are the new it-factor:
We are all aware of the fact that plastic is not fantastic to use. With a sea of alternatives, the luxurious and sustainable vote goes to upscaled bags. Be it purchasing groceries or storing them, these aesthetically pleasing reusable bags are weaved together by cotton/net/etc ensuring zero-waste and adding that ravishing touch of grandeur to your kitchens and homes. Be it a minimalist bag or a designer one, you can take your pick from a wide array of eye-pleasing produce bags that suit you and your home’s aesthetic best.
Bid-adieu to paper towels and say hello to cotton flannels:
Humans on average consume millions of tons of paper towels each year aiding in the fast depletion of forests and causing harm to marine life. Not only do paper towels tear easily, but they also work hard at tearing down the environment. A sustainable and affluent approach is to incorporate reusable cotton flannels into your everyday lifestyle at home. As they puzzle up to piecing a safer environment they also contribute to being the show stoppers of lavish sustainable interior designing.
Sustainable Candles can handle the environment and the mood at your homes:
An opulent home without the aroma of burning candles or their aesthetic vibes isn’t the right home for you or the environment. Traditional candles are known to be hazardous to nature and while removing candles from your homes isn’t a choice, eco-warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a safer alternative. You can now opt for a sustainable surrogate by incorporating green candles into your everyday lifestyle as they will not only look good but also feel good.
The luxurious zero-waste sustainability concept maybe a little hard to understand but harder to incorporate into our daily lifestyle. That being said, we don’t need a handful of people doing zero-waste perfectly, what we need is millions of people doing it imperfectly by integrating J.J. Poonawala’s expertise into our everyday lifestyle.
So let us all be our own homes eco-warriors and make Earth a safer, greener and luxurious place to live in one step at a time.
