Sustainability has become a buzz word as of late, & you can’t go a week & for some of us a day separate from hearing the word, however it has been the topic of numerous conversations as numerous people are now on a mission to live more sustainable lives.
Some people have taken the necessary steps by growing their own food, reducing waste, tearing spending plus becoming less dependent on current conveniences, then of course, it’s hard for numerous people to become sustainable as they live in major metropolitan cities & don’t have the room or the means to achieve this goal, personally, I like the idea of becoming more sustainable, however there are particular luxuries that I am not ready to deliver up.
I can easily become a minimalist & live in a tiny cabin or an off-grid cabin in the woods, however what I can’t do is deliver up having air conditioner or heating, however there are numerous tiny homes & homesteads that are off-grid that don’t have air conditioner or heating inside of them. On the other hand, some manufacturers do install small air conditioner & heating units inside the tiny homes that they build. These units are respectfully more energy efficient than the average air conditioner & heating machine that you would find in a residential home, while the units do consume energy, the energy consumption is below average. If I were to switch to a sustainable residing lifestyle, I would opt for one of those homes with air conditioner & heating. To compensate, I would find other ways to reduce my carbon footprint by controlling waste & planting trees plus vegetable gardens.
