Our Sustainable Goals for 2022

Hello everyone, I hope everyone has had a good start to the year and is feeling optimistic! Today, I wanted to share with you our sustainable goals for 2022. 

Homegrown Organic Produce is our first sustainable goal for 2022

Growing more vegetables is on the top of our list! We have allocated a greater portion of our garden to accomodate for a bigger vegetable garden. This year we have increased our veggie garden space quite substantially which will assist in ensuring our goal is maintained. 

We are using one of our latest products, our Plant Pods to germinate and grow seeds which basically results in a 100% success rate of the veggies growing in an optimum form.

However, a little challenge we have in this department is planting the right amount of each vegetable and we also have to learn how to rotate our crops so that we have consistent supply. But I am optimistic that we will get it right this year!

Another Microgarden product that makes this goal a lot easier to achieve, is our Irrigata system that waters our veggie garden. This eco-friendly product is solar powered and weather responsive. Therefore, our veggies get just the right amount of water they need depending on the day’s forecast.

I am most excited to achieve this goal as there is no better feeling than eating our own homegrown produce that is fresh from your garden! Organic and pesticide free!

Conscious Consumerism

Despite already being very aware of what I purchase for my family there is always room for improvement. Firstly, this year I would like to focus more saying no to single use products. Secondly, I would like to continue prioritising researching affordable eco-friendly product alternatives for everyday living. 

Here are some incredible eco-friendly stores that make conscious consumerism easy: shopzero, https://nudefoods.co, https://ecoelephant.co.za, https://therestore.co.za, https://www.faithful-to-nature.co.za

Let me know if you ever purchase something from them! 

Vegetarian Family

The Microgarden household is committed to doing our part in preserving our beautiful planet and we believe that saying no to meat is one powerful way of sticking to our goals. 

Here are some incredible vegan and vegetarian accounts that make meal ideas easy:

So there you have it, these are the main sustainable goals I am committing to for 2022. 

Lastly, I would like to point out that rather than having a whole list of goals. I would recommend you choose a few goals or even just one and rather focus all of your attention on fully achieving this goal in its entirety so that it actually becomes sustainable in itself. 

I would love to hear your sustainable goals for 2022, please feel free to comment below and share your resolutions with the Microgarden community. 

In love and encouragement to live a sustainable lifestyle this year and always,
