Living Sustainably and Healthy in 2023
The start of a new year is the perfect time to make a change – let’s make 2023 the year of meeting all of our goals. For me, my two main goals are to step up my health and fitness and also find more ways to go green. Whether it’s fitness or sustainability - we’ve got a few suggestions on how to accomplish those goals in 2023!
SUSTAINABILITY
Finding ways to be sustainable can be difficult to manage but finding small steps to do so can make a big difference. Recycling, reducing plastic use and switching to energy efficient appliances can be a good place to start. But for those of you who are trying to take a larger leap, composting is a perfect way to do so and it’s never been easier with the Lomi.

43% of food waste in the U.S. happens at the household level. Lomi is the world’s first Smart Waste™ appliance. It takes your food waste and creates soil. Compared to throwing your waste in the landfill, using Lomi reduces your carbon footprint by up to 127%. So, How does that work?
Lomi’s dirt is rich in organic matter and organic carbon. Typically, food waste breaks down in landfills releases methane, a greenhouse gas with 80x the warming power of carbon dioxide. When Lomi dirt is used in combination with soil to grow plants, these nutrients are broken down to help feed plants. Nutrients like carbon get stored in plant matter instead of released as carbon dioxide.
Another big step to take into being more sustainable is going solar. Solar energy is clean. It creates no carbon emissions or other heat-trapping “greenhouse” gases. It avoids the environmental damage associated with mining or drilling for fossil fuels.
For a long time, I thought about how I could contribute to making the world a little greener and I figured a great place to start was going solar!

FITNESS & HEALTH
Health and fitness can be a tough thing to tackle especially after the Holidays and finding the time to do it all can be overwhelming. I’ve found that taking small steps towards your goals is the best way to go. Sometimes heading to the gym everyday doesn’t fit into our schedule, but working out at home can be a great alternative. All you need is some good exercise equipment and a video to follow along with and you’re good to go! Below I’ve tagged my favorite exercise equipment brand.
