buy local | consider small businesses
One of the best ways to shop sustainably is to buy local, prioritizing small businesses. Not only are you helping your local economy, entrepreneurs, and small families that risk a lot just to fulfill your needs every day, but you are also buying from people that produce their goods and services sustainably.
This is because small farmers and other types of businesses use more sustainable practices to produce their products, and the local farmer cares for its stock and treats it a lot more ethically and sustainably, the same holds true for the crops they grow. You are also saving the environment by demanding products that do not require such large transportations that have quite a carbon footprint over the long run.
Overall, buying local is one of the best things you can do to shop more sustainably and ethically, and it is much easier to cut down your environmental footprint by just buying locally. Combine this with reducing the plastic packaging of the products you buy, and you got yourself a winner sustainable shopping strategy.
sustainable diet | shop for food sustainably
Sürdürülebilir beslenme, çevreye çok az etkisi olan ve karbon ayak izi düşük olan sağlıklı yiyecekler yemeye odaklanan bir beslenmedir. It’s a diet that even if it promotes a healthy living style, it does focus a lot more on the environmental impact our food choices have and plans to reduce them to a minimum improving the overall life of our society and future generations.
Bunun nedeni, mevcut gıda endüstrisinin yaklaşık olarak üretim yapmasıdır. 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and uses about two-thirds of the water usage worldwide, which is a tremendous amount even if we take into consideration how big of an industry this is (We all got to eat right?).
You see now why many people are eating more sustainably and why it matters so much, but right now you may be wondering how you can begin to eat more sustainably from the comfort of your home, how you can begin to shop for food more sustainably, do not worry, luckily for you we have some tips so you can begin changing your environmentally unfriendly diet to an environmentally friendly and healthy one. Having said this, here are some tips so you can begin to shop for food more sustainably, with respect for the planet:
- Daha fazla meyve ve sebze yiyinBunlar sadece herkesin beslenmesinde olması gereken sağlıklı seçenekler değil, aynı zamanda en iyi çevre dostu seçeneklerden biri. Bunlar diğer gıda türlerine göre çok daha düşük gaz emisyonuna neden olur ve daha az kaynak gerektirir; bu nedenle istediğiniz kadar meyve ve sebze yemekten çekinmeyin! Artık küçükken annen sana sebze yemeni söylediğinde neden onu dinlemen gerektiğini biliyorsun.
- Yüksek oranda işlenmiş gıdalardan kaçının, these are not only very bad for your health but their production and transportation have a big environmental footprint that you want to avoid taking part in. Always prioritize foods that are natural and unprocessed, you don’t have to exaggerate though (Don’t go out there eating vegetables directly out of the dirt).
- Yerel olarak satın almayı deneyin, as we said earlier, this is a great option because generally, it doesn’t matter as much what you eat because it is produced locally, on small farms, which always has a less environmental footprint than conventional supermarkets imported industrial foods, it also saves the carbon footprint transportation leaves. Plus, you are supporting small businesses from your local town or city, which is always a great thing.
- Sürdürülebilir deniz ürünlerini tercih edin, marine life is a great choice for our diets, it has many great nutrients that improve our health and lifespan overall, however, you should be careful when choosing seafood. Overexploitation is a very big problem for marine life as a whole, so you should try to buy seafood grown with aquaculture or captured artisanally, which is a sustainable and conscious way of consuming seafood.
- Atıklarınızı azaltın, buy only what you will eat and never throw out any food (this is a no-brainer), you should also compost the organic waste and avoid using plastics and single-use materials to package and store your food. This is a whole subject to talk about in itself, so if you want to learn more about it feel free to check the Birleşmiş Milletler'in gıda atıklarınızı nasıl azaltacağınıza dair makalesi.

slow fashion | how to fight fast fashion
One of the most important aspects of our lives that we need to change is how we treat the clothes we wear. Unfortunately, an alarmingly large amount of people do not know the real consequences that the current Fast Fashion industry has on our planet, most people do not even know what Fast Fashion is in the first place! So to refresh a little bit the subject, here is why Fast Fashion is destroying the planet:
Fast Fashion was born in the 90s, it is a business model that quickly tracks trends and turns them into clothes as fast as possible that are available for the customers to buy. It uses short manufacturing cycles that are very harmful to the environment and the workers and produces low-quality clothing that makes customers buy more and more, feeding consumerism and the buy-n-throw culture that pollutes our soil and waters with all the disposal that is generated from these thrown garments.
It produces 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and 20% of global wastewaters that pollute rivers and seas. Furthermore, 85% of all Fast Fashion garments are thrown in landfills each year, which combined with the fact that these garments are made from harmful, synthetic, and non-biodegradable materials, is a very scary fact. What’s worse, its terrible quality clothes, which are usually made from polyester, decompose leaving microplastics that will further pollute our waters and soil.
Here is where Slow Fashion comes into play: This anti-fast fashion model focuses on producing clothes with respect for the environment, people, and society. It uses short manufacturing cycles and Ticaret Fuarı, which is a system of certification that aims to ensure a set of standards are met in the production and supply of a product or ingredient, being the total opposite of Fast Fashion. This goes hand-in-hand with Ethical Fashion, respecting the workers and all the agents involved in the production process of the fashion garments.
Slow Fashion also searches for clothes that are produced with minimal environmental impact, and this is where Sustainable Fashion comes in. It searches for clothes that are made from biodegradable and organic materials, like organic ring-spun cotton and recycled materials, also producing high-quality garments avoiding unnecessary consumerism and the bu-n-throw culture that pollutes our soil and waters when the garments are thrown.
Overall, changing our fashion habits is one of the most important and forgotten things we need to do to achieve an environmentally friendly lifestyle and live sustainably, while also caring for our other fellow human beings and the future generations that will have to live on this wonderful and unique planet. We have a ton of articles regarding the matter, so feel free to check our blog out or just the articles linked in the summary 🙂
