Anyone can easily achieve these 6 resolutions for 2024 ;)
New Year's resolutions for 2024 - tips for more sustainability
You know that feeling when the new year has barely begun and everyone is already busy making resolutions. And it's easy to get so enthusiastic that you write down 100 ideas, only to abandon them after a few months. We believe you should always start a new year with a moment of success. Are you with us?
6 resolutions with more sustainability for the year 2024
#1. Eat fewer animal products
When it comes to nutrition, our motto is "You do you." Whether you prefer to switch completely to a vegan diet or make a small contribution is entirely up to you. Completely avoiding animal products isn't necessary. Buying less but better quality can already make a big difference. Want to participate in #veganuary? You can do that at the Explorer Hotel. We offer a good selection of vegan alternatives for breakfast and dinner at the bar.
#2. Drink more - that means more water ;)
Since humans are made up of approximately 65% water, it's clear that all of our body cells need water. If we don't drink enough, it harms our organs—all of them. Tap water is safe to drink almost everywhere in Germany and Austria. It's often even better than bottled water from plastic bottles. Did you know that Explorer Hotels have a water dispenser in the lounge? You can refill your water bottle there. *Extra tip*—if you tend to drink too little, set a reminder or alarm on your phone. 💦
#3. Avoid food waste
Everyone knows the problem of food waste. How about being more conscious in 2024 about throwing away less (and ideally, no) food? These tips can help you:
- Shop more consciously: Consider what and how much you need for the week.
- Invite your friends to a leftovers party and try new dishes.
- At the buffet on vacation, let your head decide how much fits on your plate, not your stomach. ;)
#4. Save electricity properly
Turning off lights when you leave a room hasn't been a new idea for a long time (hopefully😎). But did you know that you can save about €100 a year by completely turning off your typical "standby devices" like the TV, stereo, and coffee maker after use? Another money-saving tip: watch less TV and spend more time outdoors. Fresh air and exercise combined with cool mountain moments—no movie night can compare to that.
#5. Conscious shopping
Did you know that one in five items of clothing in your closet is almost never worn? Everyone understands that this isn't environmentally friendly. Of course, you don't have to forgo new purchases all year, but the next time you need new clothes, why not check if your existing items can be repaired? Another good tip is to shop at secondhand stores or support sustainable fashion labels.
#6. Try something new
New year - new challenge! Did you know that our brain always needs something new to learn in order to stay active? New things stimulate and strengthen our bodies. How about trying a new sport this year? Cross-country skiing in the winter or trail running in the summer? P.S. Check out our camp page; you might find just the right challenge for your year there.
