There are many ways to take action when it comes to living green. Some simple ways – take short showers to save water and make your own food when you can. Also, take a moment to appreciate food and water.

Some eco-friendly products you can start opting for: a bamboo toothbrush, bamboo straws, toothpaste in a tin, oils that come in glass bottles, soaps made out of natural ingredients, hair powder as shampoo, rattan sandals and even a water bottle bag.

By investing in eco-friendly staples you can start bringing your own whenever you can – from cutlery to save on single use plastic to your own food so as to reduce packaging waste to water bottles for easy top ups.

Where you can, shop and eat local fresh produce. This helps to reduce waste and supports smaller businesses.

Some of my favourite eco-friendly beauty items: Magic Of India’s herbals shampoo powder, Oleum’s face oil and Frangipani’s organic deodorant stick.

A big part of living green is also implementing your practices like yoga and meditation in nature. Make time in your day to take a hike to relieve all of your stress and worries. 

Spend a little time to be still and silent and watch the sun set. This is a beautiful way to give thanks to each day.

I also practice connecting my body to the Earth. To do this, simply lay down in corpse pose – also called the shavasana pose in yoga practice – take in deep breaths to calm the mind and feel peace from the earth beneath the body.

Walking meditation is a great way to practice groundedness too. To do this, make sure you are taking conscious steps with every breath.

Do practice balance, acceptance and flexibility in nature’s setting that’s constantly moving with the wind.

Don’t be too serious – be free and be happy.

Beauty is all around us if we care to notice. I personally like to take a stroll at night to discover the wonderful magic of blooming flowers.
