- SHARE. This is your room, this is his mobile, this is my car…. What’s ours? We adults can sleep in pairs, but children can’t? Ah! It’s just that they each need their own space… and we confuse it with needing their own room. This rampant individualism distances us from ourselves, from the collective world. Sharing is difficult, it requires effort because it implies collaboration, organisation, respect and acceptance. How awful! Have you ever thought about sharing your car? We do it around here and it works!
>>> Choose something to share that challenges your daily life and look for the right partner. It’s worth it.
- INVEST: What’s keeping you from finally getting round to changing the windows at home? And that air conditioner from the last century (literally)? And the organic clothes? The organic food box? We struggle to recognise the necessity of investing in improvements or in selecting higher-priced products which, in the long run, provide better performance in energy consumption, or that respect the production process with natural rhythms or that use organic, recycled, recyclable raw materials. Choose well today to live better tomorrow.
>>> Select your next investment and justify the positive effects, and if you can look for options that also offer social and environmental improvement.
- RECYCLE. Finally, the thing we always put first: recycle. If you have eliminated, reduced, reused, shared and invested, your waste management will be on a downward curve. You will have less waste and more awareness.
>>> If you still don’t have a bin for glass, paper, plastic, organic, oils, batteries, electronics, old furniture… what are you waiting for?
