Modest consumption

Staying modest

Although planting trees is a great way to offset your carbon emissions, it’s not a license to go out and consume irresponsibly.

There are many other reasons why modest consumption is desirable, including the equitable management of scarce resources, reduction in pollution and the protection of biodiversity.

Although we prefer to stick to the hard facts, we do also acknowledge that there are also compelling arguments that modesty is fundamentally good for the soul.

In this section we run through some of our top tips for living a more sustainable, more healthy and, arguably, a more enjoyable life.
