sustainable living
Environmentally mindful existence
Sustainable living is a lifestyle aimed at reducing one's environmental impact—consuming fewer resources, generating less waste, and making choices that can be maintained without depleting the planet.
The term covers practices from composting and cycling to work to installing solar panels: We're trying to move toward sustainable living.
It implies long-term thinking about consumption and its consequences.
