🌱 What Is Sustainable Vegan Living?

Sustainable vegan living is about minimizing your ecological footprint while staying true to plant-based ethics. It’s more than what you eat — it’s about how you shop, consume, travel, and dispose of waste. Choosing reusable, compostable, and low-impact options can significantly reduce harm to the planet.

♻️ Key Pillars of Sustainable Veganism

Low-Waste Living: Replacing disposables with reusables (bags, bottles, cloth napkins).
Ethical Consumption: Supporting brands with eco-packaging and transparent supply chains.
Minimalism: Buying less but better—investing in quality vegan goods that last.
Composting: Diverting organic waste from landfills to reduce methane emissions.
Eco Transport: Walking, biking, or using public transport instead of cars.
