25 sustainable new year resolutions

30.12.20Lifestyle, Sustainable & Slow Living1

With the new year, comes new year resolutions. Some people do them, some people don’t. Personally, I love the idea of setting goals for the year and setting smaller goals again to accomplish those goals. So, I set resolutions, and if you’re interested in my 2021 resolutions you can read about them here.

Anyway, 2020 has been a wild year to say the least, and I’m sure we’re all hoping 2021 is better. Obviously somethings are out of our control, but some aren’t. There are big and little things we can all do to make 2021 better. So, why not create some resolutions and set some goals to help accomplish some of those things. So, I’ve created 20 sustainable new year resolutions for you to add to your list of resolutions!

25 sustainable new year resolutions

  17. Track your trash and figure out how to reduce it

  23. Get involved with your area’s sustainable community plans

Just over halfway through January and I've publish Just over halfway through January and I've published my first blog post of the year 😅

It wasn't my plan, but it's what happened.

Click the link in my bio to head over to my blog to read my hello to 2021 💌

What's something you hope 2021 brings you?
I turned 20 yesterday and I don't like these photo I turned 20 yesterday and I don't like these photos, but I'm posting them anyway.

It's kind of weird to think of myself as a 20 year old. I don't feel ready yet, but I'm ready to give it a go.

Today, I went out and had lunch with my family. It was nothing fancy, but it was nice. I'm not one to celebrate things. To me my birthday is just another day 😅

Anyway, I did have something exciting happen and I'm crossing my fingers it all works out. Anyway guesses?

Outfit details if you're interested:
Earrings are @denzandco
Top necklace is @mejuri and the bottom is @skinstudioj_
Shirt is secondhand Glassons from Depop

Also, when I do post photos of me, would you like to know where my clothes are from?

Heading into 2021 has left me super busy with work Heading into 2021 has left me super busy with work, but full of ideas for the blog.

What have you gotten up to so far this year? 🦋

While work has been crazy, loud, cold, hot, and full on, it hasn't been too bad.

I find January is like a test run of the year. It's a hectic month that's all over the shop (for me at least). Finding peace can be hard, but it's super rewarding. It's a month where I always relearn how to look after myself a little more (after some easily avoidable self-destruction though).

Anyway, I'm heading offline again to get some stuff done as I've got tennis this afternoon 🎾
Happy new year guys 🥂 I've been working the la Happy new year guys 🥂

I've been working the last couple of days, and haven't really spent a lot of time on my phone to post.

To think it's 2021 🤔

For me personally, 2020 was a pretty good year: I did well in uni (could've done better), started building some healthier habits, figured who I am/want to be, hiked, and for the first time felt comfortable in my body. These are all things I hope to carry on into the new year.

I'm definitely trying to look at the positives of 2020.

What's something you achieved in/loved about 2020 despite it being the year no one wanted?
Thought I'd share some sustainable new year resolu Thought I'd share some sustainable new year resolutions to bring into 2021 🌱

These are pretty generic, but I hope they inspire you to think about our gorgeous planet and outside the box for your 2021 resolutions (if you set them).

I've got a blog post up with 10 more sustainable resolutions as well. So, if you want to check out the full list, the link is in my bio 🦋

Even if you just set one sustainable resolution within your list, it's better than nothing. I'd definitely recommend taking a look at number 25 on the list (in my blog post) 🥰

Do you plan on setting any sustainable new year resolutions?
From this morning's hike 💥 I started 2020 on a From this morning's hike 💥

I started 2020 on a high note by hiking Lofty with an incredible friend and it's safe to I'm ending it on a high note too, hiking Wine Shanty with her too (even though there are a few days left).

Even though 2020 didn't go to plan for any of us, I feel closer to myself than ever before and I'm ready to continue growing in 2021.

What was a highlight of 2020 for you?
