What's good for you is often good for the environment.
Eating healthy and locally-sourced food, getting outside to exercise and appreciate natural spaces, and even staying mindful and present in the moment are all part of maintaining a harmonious, mutually-beneficial relationship between ourselves and our natural environment.
Be inspired to live more sustainably. Stay mindful of these questions:
- Do I really need this?
- Can I borrow this instead, or find it used?
- How far away has it come from?
- Could this be done or created with less waste?
- Is there a lower energy way of doing this?
- Could this item and/or its packaging be recycled?
There are many resources both on campus and around Austin to help you live well. Explore below for more information and inspiration.
