To me minimalism and green living go hand in hand. Both mean that you are consuming less, but more thoughtfully.
So, I would like to know some ways and share some tips how to achieve a greener live style with less consumption and less waste! Please share your ideas!

#8 Use mason jars to store or transport food
You don't need to buy fancy jars. Just reuse the ones that you got when buying jarred food.

#13 Borrow books at the library or from friends
This one is tough for me, but I try now to only buy the books that I love & want to reread. The rest I usually get in the library.

#14 Be mindful when using & buying technology.
I use all my devises until they are broken, not until the newest model comes out.
Not only do you save energy, but you also don't produce unnecessary waste from old or not used devises.
