About Sustainable Living Basics

Our purpose

Sustainable Living Basics explains how everyday systems—energy, food, products, water, transportation and waste—fit together. The site focuses on actions people can evaluate and repeat, including the limits and tradeoffs that vague advice often leaves out.

What we do differently

• We begin with reducing waste and extending useful life before recommending purchases.
• We distinguish broad principles from local rules, especially for recycling, water and building work.
• We recognize that renters, homeowners, rural residents, apartment dwellers and people with accessibility needs have different options.
• We avoid presenting one product, diet or lifestyle as a universal answer.
