green living
Environmentally conscious choices
Green living is a lifestyle that minimizes environmental impact through conscious choices—reducing waste, conserving energy, choosing sustainable products, and lowering one's carbon footprint.
The phrase covers everything from recycling and composting to driving electric vehicles and eating locally grown food: We've been trying to embrace green living since we bought the house.
