Do you have an easy tip to live more sustainably?
I feel a greater appreciation for the products I choose as well as for their makers. This applies equally to fashion, furniture and in many ways also to the things I eat. With regard to fashion and furniture, for example, the consequence for me is that I buy mostly from small brands or vintage. There are so many possibilities and so much to discover (also for different budgets).

Do I really want and need this? And does it have to be new? For me, this has automatically led to less consumption.
