Can Sustainable Agriculture Really Feed The World? Sustainable Living

how to achieve a sustainable diet at home

A sustainable diet is focused on eating healthy food that also has little impact on the environment and has a low carbon footprint because the current food industry is producing around 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and uses about two-thirds of the world’s water usage worldwide. It’s a diet that, even if it promotes a healthy living style, does focus a lot more on the environmental impact our food choices have and plans to reduce them to a minimum, improving our society’s overall life and future generations.

How do begin to eat more sustainably? You may ask, well, it’s not as complicated as it may sound at first glance, here are 5 tips so you can begin eating more sustainably at home:

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

What Is Sustainable Agriculture And How Does It Differ From Regular Agriculture Sustainable Living

how to dispose of waste sustainably saving the environment

There are many ways to achieve a sustainable lifestyle, one of them is of course reducing our waste, one of the most polluting and material byproducts of our existence. Doing so is no easy task either, but with just a few small changes in our habits, we can achieve a massive change for the better in this world. Having said this, here are the best ways to reduce waste and live more sustainably at home:

  • Recycle, one of the best ways of handling the waste we produce is by recycling it. Not only do we make sure our waste is not going to further pollute our rivers, seas, waters, and soil, but we also make sure that we give a second life to the waste, reducing the necessity to create more materials that will end up polluting our planet even more. Check out how easy it is to recycle with the Environmental Protection Agency’s article.
  • Compost, this is a great way of handling organic waste, like banana peels, coffee grounds and filters, eggshells… By composting at home you can make sure that your organic waste is not taking up unnecessary space in the landfill, and resources to transport it to the landfill, but also avoid polluting the air with methane that is produced in the landfill. Not only that, but you are also creating a new type of soil enrichment full of nutrients that help new plants grow and thrive, without the need for potentially harmful fertilizers and other man-made nutrients. Overall, composting is something that is really worth doing at home and could have many benefits to it, bu makaleye göz atın to dive deeper into this subject.
  • Reuse, an equally important step to reduce waste and the environmental impact we have on this planet, reusing something instead of throwing it out is an excellent option, saving not only the environment but also saving you money that you would have spent on something that you clearly did not need to buy. This is one of the most preferred methods of reducing waste, as people are economically incentivized to do it.
  • Anaerobic Digestion, this is a pretty interesting topic in itself and an awesome way to handle our waste, it consists of letting bacteria decompose our waste in a sealed container or generator, producing various byproducts like biogas or digestate that could be used as productive materials in the creation of other useful products.
  • Reduce, this is one of the most straightforward of all these ways to reduce waste, simply reduce your consumption of things you do not need and you will produce less waste overall. You don’t have to be a cheapskate, you only have to think before you buy (a great way to do that is using the 7-day rule, wait 7 days before you buy something to see if you really want it or need it, you will be surprised most of the time you stop wanting the item in just a few days), not only will you reduce waste, but you can be a lot more financially free.

What is the difference between composting organic waste and anaerobic digestion? The answer is simple, composting is the process of decomposing organic waste with oxygen present, while anaerobic digestion takes place without any oxygen present, neither air for that matter. The process of decomposing is quite similar, as we have seen before.

How to create a DIY Anaerobic Digestion device at home to naturally decompose your organic waste and produce useful methane and fertilizer that you can use for yourself? Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is composed of thousands of photos, so you may be interested in this video that will show you just that:

That’s it for handling waste, this is one of the most challenging things to change in one’s habits to achieve a sustainable lifestyle, as everyone produces waste, and rather a lot of it. How about we learn now what we can do to reduce our environmental impact when we go shopping?

The Three R's Of Reducing Waste Sustainable Living

how to shop with sustainability in mind

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.

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 are two of the most important reasons why Fast Fashion is so bad and it’s destroying our planet:

  1. 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.
  2. 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:

  • Slow Fashion 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.

This is a very extensive topic that we have covered in many articles in our Blog, so if you want to check our articles out feel free to search in our blog or in the links provided in the özet.

Buy Local And Prioritize Small Businesses For Living Sustainably

what is sustainable tourism? how to travel sustainably

Sürdürülebilir Turizm çevreye duyarlı, çevreye duyarlı turizm türü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. avoids highly polluting and impacting activities, for the socio-cultural identity of the place of destination, and doğru gelişme of the regions visited.

Why is conventional tourism bad and why does it have to be changed? İşte geleneksel turizmin kötü olmasının ve değiştirilmesi gerekmesinin 5 nedeni:

  1. Turizm varış yerini aşırı doyurabilir, with too many people going to a single spot of the earth in a given season of the year, the destination can be easily oversaturated, with all the socio-economic and environmental impacts that this has on the receiving counterpart.
  2. Kaynakların aşırı tüketimine neden olabilir, tourists are famous for spending a lot of money on the place destination, staying in wonderful hotels, and partying all night. Although this is great for the tourist, it can lead to overconsumption of essential resources like water that the local population may not have easy access to.
  3. Çok büyük bir çevresel ayak izi bırakıyor, to practice tourism people need to get to the place of destination in the first place, which, with our current methods of transporting, leaves an enormous environmental footprint on this planet. We are not saying you should travel riding a horse, especially overseas, but only that you should take in mind the environmental impact of getting to your destination and using that information in a rational way.
  4. Turizmin sosyo-ekonomik etkileri, this activity also has some quite deep social and economic impacts in the receiving part of tourism, and these impacts are not always positive. For example, it can make the locals have to move from their place of residence to make room for the new tourist infrastructures that are needed to hold the tourists that come in. Although this is not necessarily bad as it provides a more dynamic economy for the tourist receiving regions, and as long as you are contributing to the local economy and wellbeing of the locals (for example, by buying from local markets) you do not have to worry that much.
  5. Kültürel etkiler, tourism can have great impacts on the local culture, making the tourist receiving regions adopt the western culture and food in order to please tourists. This is not only bad for the locals in a tourist destination, as they are losing their true identity, but also for the tourist who travels to learn about other cultures and ways of life.

We have, however, a few tips to follow the next time you’re traveling in order to abide by sustainable tourism, here are some tips to practice sustainable tourism with respect for the environment and the local destination:

  • Yerel ekonomiye destek, this is a crucial step for the correct development of the places of destination. Always try to visit and buy from local markets and businesses, and don’t be afraid to give tips (except in the countries where that can be offensive), the goods and services can be very cheap in some locations, and even a small tip can make someone their day or even week. The main takeaway is that if you are going to visit a destination where the locals welcome you, you might as well contribute to their development and wellbeing.
  • Gereksiz yere kirletmeyin, we haven’t figured out a way to conveniently move across continents of countries in a fully eco-friendly way yet, but there are better options than others to choose from. It’s the same for when you are in the place of your destination, you should not contribute to unnecessary pollution either, always try to choose the greener option and (this is a no-brainer) DO NOT EVER LITTER, many people still haven’t figured this out yet so feel free to call out others for this childish practice.
  • Yakınınızdaki turistik yerleri araştırın,Maldivlere gitmenin, yapmak isteyeceğin çok cazip bir yolculuk olabileceğini biliyoruz, ama emrinde olan ve sana daha yakın olan tüm seçeneklere baktın mı? Bu kadar uzun (ve yakıt tüketen) bir yolculuk gerektirmeyen, size çok para kazandıran ve karbon ayak izinizi azaltan, aklınıza bile gelmeyen daha iyi seçenekler bulabilirsiniz. MAldivlere asla gitmemelisiniz demiyoruz ama yakınınızdaki, bilmediğiniz diğer turistik yerler sizi şaşırtabilir.
  • Dokunmayın! this is a very common phrase written by many touristic monuments and structures worldwide, but it applies to many other aspects of tourist destinations. You should not touch, enter or interact with places or objects you are not allowed to, and you should call out anyone that tries to as not everyone seems to understand this simple phrase. You should also not venture out in places you are not supposed to be, like into the woods where you can get lost and disturb the local fauna.
  • Stres yapmayın, traveling can be the bread and wine of many people, the energy of life, you should not turn it down completely in order to have the minimum impact possible. Just think that by reading about how to travel more sustainably, just by reading this article, you are doing more than 99% of the conventional tourists.
