Does sustainability represent an objective we aim for or a shift in cultural norms? What minor adjustments can we make in our everyday routines that would influence our behavior to develop more positive and sustainable habits? Sustainability is often viewed as both a goal and a cultural change. It's a goal in the sense that we aim for a more sustainable way of living, preserving resources for future generations, and reducing our impact on the environment. However, it's also a cultural change because achieving this goal requires a shift in how we think, act, and make decisions in our everyday lives. Regarding small changes that can positively impact our sustainability habits, here are a few suggestions: 1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: This classic mantra is still very relevant. Try to reduce waste, reuse items whenever possible, and recycle materials like paper, plastic, and glass. 2. Conserve Energy: Simple actions like turning off lights when leaving a room, using energy-efficient appliances, and reducing heating and cooling usage can make a difference. 3. Sustainable Transportation: Opt for walking, biking (do these at your own risk in summer!), public transport, or carpooling over driving alone (while a foreign concept to some, it is a great way to socialize and bonus bonus save the environment). This reduces carbon emissions and can also be healthier and more economical. 4. Mindful Consumption: Be conscious of what you buy. Opt for products with less packaging, buy local and seasonal produce, and choose items that are made to last. 5. Water Conservation: Simple habits like taking shorter showers, fixing leaks, and using water-efficient fixtures can significantly reduce water usage. 6. Support Green Businesses: Whenever possible, support businesses that are committed to sustainable practices. 7. Educate and Spread Awareness: Share your knowledge and habits with others. Sometimes, the most significant change starts with a conversation. (this is key) Implementing these habits not only contributes to sustainability but often leads to a healthier lifestyle and can even be cost-effective in the long run. [Remember, change doesn't have to be drastic; even small, consistent actions can have a big impact over time]. #sustainability #goodhabits #culturalchange M42 Health G42 Healthcare Mubadala Health #cop28uae

This quote emphasizes a crucial perspective on sustainability that is often misunderstood. Sustainability isn't solely about giving up comforts or making sacrifices; instead, it's about making intelligent decisions that benefit both the planet and ourselves. Incorporating sustainable practices into our lives means making choices that reduce our environmental footprint while enhancing our overall well-being. These smart choices could involve opting for energy-efficient appliances, supporting eco-friendly products and companies, reducing waste through recycling and reusing, or choosing alternative transportation methods like cycling or carpooling. By understanding that sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into our lifestyles without sacrificing our quality of life, we unlock the potential for a more harmonious coexistence with the environment. It's a win-win situation, where we protect the planet for future generations while also enjoying the benefits of a healthier, more sustainable way of living. Let's remember, sustainability is not a sacrifice; it's a wise investment in our future. #Sustainability #SmartChoices #EnvironmentallyFriendly

𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛 𝗗𝗔𝗬 🌎 Last Monday we watched many noble and heartfelt messages be spread across social media channels. Most were well-meant, from the heart. But we cannot faff around and just think of the earth once a year to collect a good rep and likes on social media. 🗓️ Sustainability and circularity are not a trend for us but a way of living. Both are intertwined in our every single business activity. Just as caring for people and planet are rooted in the foundation of our business. 🌱 We believe that Hygiene, Health, Hospitality and Happiness can be achieved when we willingly find harmony with planet Earth. There are many examples of sustainable solutions out there that we can learn from. For instance: did you know our patented Aqueous Ozone Spray Bottle immitates thunder to generate ozone on demand? This is why we call it nature’s most powerful sanitiser! ⚡️ There is so much the earth has for us to draw solutions from. It just takes cutting off our pride and the idea that we know better. Let's stop thinking for the earth, and invest in collaborating with the earth to heal both people and planet! 👊💚

Sustainability promotes longevity and prosperity with a focus on the future. Internally, sustainability may feel out-of-reach or unattainable based on certain limitations. Oftentimes, however, it's about doing the little things. Oligomaster promotes a bench-to-market approach for sustainability, encouraging its development in both the research and public sector. By breaking the stigma on sustainability vs accessibility, innovation can grow into industrialization for a better, cleaner tomorrow. Check out our infographic on how you can adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.

Synergy between circular economy and sustainability is necessary Both terms are used interchangeably due to their synonymity I’ll show an example at the end so you will understand both clearly We need proven systems that maintain environmental sustainability while satisfying human needs Therefore, circular economy and sustainability go hand in hand Let me explain these two separately. Circular economy is a strategy that is used for achieving sustainability through resource use promotion via important 3Rs i.e., reduce, reuse, and recycle of resources. On the other side, Sustainability is a wider concept that targets the overall ecological, communal, and economic welfare of society. Both are complementary forces that contribute to a healthier planet from diverse perspectives. Implementing sustainability and circular economy practices is essential because it is 🌍 Vital synergy for our earth’s welfare 🔍 SDGs guide towards ecological limits & and human welfare 🔄 Circular economy mirrors nature's efficiency 🌿 Promote 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle optimize resource use 💡 Sustainability targets holistic well-being 💚 Complementary forces for a healthier planet Now this example below will remove the ambiguity; You bought a water bottle. Instead of throwing it away you refill it and reuse it to save resources. That presents a circular economy in action. Now you see your neighbors and friends doing the same instead of throwing them in the trash. That’s sustainability in action through resource conservation. PS. Well, the use of plastics is harmful to the planet too. That’s another discussion for another time, but the example is documented for your understanding.

Is Sustainability Really a Luxury We Can't Afford? Picture this: A world where our choices today determine the health of our planet tomorrow. Sounds dramatic? It should be. The sustainability debate often paints a picture of sacrifice and inconvenience. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? Let's challenge the notion that going green means going broke or living less comfortably. It's time to bust some myths and uncover the real story behind sustainable living. The True Cost of Convenience 1️⃣ The Wash Factor: Reusable vs. Disposable Critics argue: "Reusable products like cloth pads or period panties? Too much laundry!" Reality check: Is an extra load of laundry really too high a price for reducing tons of plastic waste? Let's put things into perspective: -Average person uses 11,000 disposable menstrual products in a lifetime. -A few extra minutes of washing vs. centuries of non-biodegradable waste in landfills. 2️⃣ The Leakage Dilemma: Security vs. Sustainability The concern: "But what if eco-friendly options aren't as reliable?" The truth: No product is perfect, reusable or disposable. Finding the right fit is key, regardless of your choice. Plus, many sustainable options now offer the same (if not better) protection as their disposable counterparts. Instead of asking, "Can we afford sustainability?" perhaps the real question is, "Can we afford not to be sustainable?" 👇Consider this: -The long-term cost savings of reusable products -The reduction in your personal carbon footprint -The positive impact on global waste reduction The Bottom Line: Sustainability isn't about sacrifice; it's about smart choices and small changes that add up to big impacts. It's an investment in our planet, our health, and our future. So, are you ready to be part of the solution? Or will you continue to be a part of the problem? What small step towards sustainability will you take today? Share your thoughts and sustainable swaps in the comments below! 👇 Let's inspire each other to make a difference." . . . #sustainability #pollution #entrepreneurship
