LAJFSTAJL / LIFESTYLE
if you also use such a satchel to car- ry your packed lunch for work, be sure to also buy reusable cutlery and ac- cessories, such as eco-friendly food containers, durable knives and forks, washable straws and cloth napkins. When it comes to clothing, let your- self be led by the principle of on- ly buying what you’ll really like. The fashion industry is one of the planet’s biggest polluters, so instead of im- pulsively buying trendy items, try to plan your seasonal wardrobe in ad- vance. That will ensure that you’re al- ways perfectly stylish, while you’ll have fewer items collecting dust in
the closet. When an item of cloth- ing becomes so worn that you re- ally can’t wear it any longer – pack it away for recycling. Some shops provide the option of leaving worn- out clothes of any brand in specially marked boxes: everything collected will either be re-worn through dona- tion programmes or recycled to cre- ate new items of clothing. When using your washing machine, you should also try to set it at a low- er temperature. Use vinegar instead of fabric softener, and minimise the amount of laundry you have by plac- ing worn clothes on hangers to air between washes. VEČE Ništa lepše od porodične veče- re kod kuće! Svakako je kvalitetni- je, isplativije i savesnije od dosta- ve. Kada kupujete sastojke za jela koja ćete pripremati, fokusirajte se na lokalne namirnice i one koje su u sezoni. Sto dekorišite onim što je već upotrebljavano – stolnjaci ko- ji su generacijama u kući, platnene salvete i retro-drangulije od kera- mike su aktuelniji nego ikad. Upali- te sveće koje prave atmosferu, pu- stite laganu muziku i priuštite sebi gušt da jedete bez žurbe: tako ste korak bliže slow living principima zbog kojih ćete više uživati u sva- kom obroku. EVENING There’s nothing nicer than a family dinner at home! It is certainly better quality, more affordable and more conscientious than ordering a food delivery. When buying ingredients for meals that you intend to prepare, focus on locally-sourced ingredients and foods that are currently in sea- son. Decorate the table with items that have already been in use: table- cloths that have been in the home for generations, cloth napkins and retro ceramic holders are trendier than ever when it comes to interior décor. Light some atmospheric can- dles, put on some soft music and al- low yourself to indulge in the pleas- ure of slow dining: this brings you a step closer to the principles of slow living, which will enable you to enjoy every meal more.
Kupujte samo ono što ćete nositi, modna industrija je jedan od najvećih zagađivača Only buy what you’ll really wear, the fashion industry is one of the planet’s biggest polluters
