Happy New Year! Many of us use this time of year to think about New Year's resolutions. Are you immediately thinking of the usual candidates such as doing more sport or eating healthier? Why not put sustainability at the centre of your resolutions? Here are some inspiring ideas on how you can increase your contribution to environmental protection in the coming year. Let's go! 

 

Resolution 1: Better Energy Consumption

It's THE topic for more sustainability, and not just in the cold season! How about rethinking energy consumption in your own home? You can reduce your electricity consumption by using energy-saving appliances and being more aware of your lighting and heating. Climate protection will thank you for it.

 

Resolution 2: Bike Instead of Taking Your Car

Do you usually travel to work, university or shopping by car? Then another resolution could be to cycle more often. This not only reduces your CO2 footprint, but also promotes your health and fitness. A real win-win situation!

 

Resolution 3: Avoid Waste by Using Less Plastic

The reduction of plastic waste concerns us all. And it's often easier than you think! You can help by avoiding single-use plastic, using reusable shopping bags and drinking bottles and shopping more consciously.

 

Resolution 4: Involvement in an Environmental Organisation

Why not dedicate some of your time to helping the environment? Get involved in an environmental organisation that is close to your heart. Your support can make a big difference. Did you know that Dole is also committed to protecting the environment? We have set ourselves the goal of establishing at least 10 initiatives to protect biodiversity throughout the company by 2030.

 

Resolution 5: Veggie Instead of Meat

Switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet can significantly improve your ecological footprint. A plant-based diet is not only healthy, but also reduces the need for resources and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. And of course, meat-free ideas with lots of fruit and vegetables are also simply delicious! Be sure to try our Buddha bowl with vegan banana bacon or warm wheatgrass and banana porridge with colourful fruit.

 

Greener goals – new year, sustainable you!
