Drinking Straws

Family transitions can easily disrupt even the most established low-waste habits, but small, steady actions can help keep sustainability on track. During separation or household changes, waste often increases through duplicate purchases and discarded items-yet thoughtful planning can reduce both environmental impact and emotional strain. By simplifying routines, creating consistent recycling systems across homes, and leaning on digital communication to avoid unnecessary waste, families can maintain their eco-values through change. In Brighton, community resources and practical support make sustainable transitions more achievable. At Friendly Turtle EcoBlog, we explore how mindful habits, shared values, and low-waste tools can help families stay grounded, connected, and environmentally conscious during life’s shifting seasons.
