New Year, new you—but make it sustainable! It’s 2025, and while we can’t promise your gym goals won’t fizzle out by February, we can help you stick to some planet-friendly resolutions that’ll leave both you and Mother Earth glowing. Ready to save the planet one fun, baby step at a time?  Here’s a list of 25 easy-to-keep sustainable resolutions that will help you make a positive impact without feeling overwhelmed!

Dive in!

  • 1. No New Clothes Challenge

Think of it as a fashion detox. Instead of buying new, hit up thrift shops, host a clothing swap, or channel your inner DIY designer. Bonus: no one else will show up in your upcycled denim jacket.

  • 2. A Greener Morning Routine

Swap your plastic toothbrush for bamboo, brew your coffee in a French press, and try refillable skincare products. Starting your day sustainably feels so fresh, so clean.

  • 3. Plant-Based Day (Per Week)

Meatless Mondays are a classic, but why not mix it up? Tofu Taco Tuesdays, anyone? You might just discover your taste buds love tempeh.

  • 4. DIY Cleaning Products

Ditch toxic sprays for DIY vinegar and baking soda magic. It’s like a science experiment that cleans your home (and saves you cash!). Win-win anyone? 

  • 5. Start Composting

Kitchen scraps? Meet your compost bin. Your trash-to-soil transformation will leave your garden thriving—and your trash can lighter. And your kitchen garden will be ever so grateful it will repay you with a never ending bounty of top notch produce! 

  • 6. Pedal or Public Transport Day

Bike to work or hop on a bus once a week. You’ll save emissions and possibly discover a killer podcast en route. Even a carpool with colleagues once a week can considerably cut down on emissions and help you find new friends- After work drinks will now come with a designated driver in tow! 

  • 7. Zero-Waste Room Challenge

Pick a room—kitchen, bathroom, or even your closet—and aim for zero waste. Reusable containers and recycling are your new BFFs.  As are zero waste products that we recommend all year through and think this is the perfect time to start your loyalty program with. 

  • 8. Join a Clean-Up Event

Bond with your community while picking up litter. It’s eco-warrior meets social butterfly. Contact a local recycler to dispose off the waste and you’ve closed the loop- literally! 

  • 9. Digital Over Paper

Cancel the paper subscriptions and go digital. Your phone’s already glued to your hand—might as well save some trees.

  • 10. Host Eco-Gatherings

Reusable plates, plant-based menus, and BYO containers for leftovers. Hosting sustainably? Nailed it. Do remember to ditch the balloons and use up cycled paper or fabric decorations. 

  • 11. Learn Sustainable Gardening

Grow your own veggies and brag about your pesticide-free, homegrown tomatoes. Remember the compost bin you started, it’s now your new BFF when it comes to keeping this one going. 

  • 12. Upcycled Gifting

Secondhand doesn’t mean second-rate. Pre-loved gifts with a creative twist show real thoughtfulness. 

  • 13. Nature > Netflix

Trade binge-watching for hikes or park strolls. Nature is the ultimate mood booster. Not to mention it will save you the money you’d normally need to spend on a therapist for the same mental wellness upkeep. 

  • 14. Sustainable Home Office

Switch to energy-efficient gadgets and surround yourself with plants. Who knew saving the planet could look so chic?

  • 15. Social Media Advocacy

Use your platforms to share eco-friendly brands, ideas, and memes (because who doesn’t love a good green meme?).

  • 16. Reusable Everything Challenge

Reusable coffee cups, bags, and water bottles are the heroes we need. Bonus points if you extend this to kitchen towels and food wraps. 

  • 17. Minimalism—But Fun

Declutter your life and love what’s left. Warning: might lead to serious happiness. (It’s been tried an tested by us but don’t take our word for it, go on and give it a try!) 

  • 18. DIY Beauty

Mix coconut oil and essential oils to make your own beauty products. It’s spa day—eco-style. Mix in some herbs/flowers from your blooming kitchen garden and voila! You’ve literally “spiced- up” your beauty routine. 

  • 19. Eco-Book Club

Dive into eco-friendly reads with friends. It’s the perfect blend of sustainability and socializing. Not sure who will love you more, the author or the planet. 

  • 20. Energy-Efficient Swaps

Upgrade to LED bulbs or energy-efficient appliances. Your wallet and the planet will thank you.

  • 21. Family Green-Off

Turn eco-living into a family game. Who can waste the least or craft the coolest upcycled item? Try out one of our challenges, make it a habit and have a blast while saving a planet. 

  • 22. Sustainability Journal

Track your green wins (and fails). Reflection is the secret sauce for growth. If you have a particularly funny run in with eco living, drop us a line we’d love to hear it!

  • 23. Shop Local

Farmers’ markets are where sustainability meets deliciousness. Fresh, local, and low-carbon. Eating local has more benefits than you imagined. 

  • 24. Carbon Offsets

Neutralize travel emissions with carbon offsets. Flying guilt-free? Yes, please.

  • 25. Stay Informed

Watch documentaries, read books, or attend workshops on sustainability. Knowledge is power, folks. Don’t forget to subscribe before you go, so you can stay in the loop and contribute!

Pick a few (or all) of these resolutions and start small. Sustainability isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Together, we can make 2025 our greenest year yet… Let’s do this!
