Bask in the sun and soak up the stunning views of the Hamptons while doing your part to save the planet! Here are some great tips to help you live sustainably in the Hamptons:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Let's keep the vibes high with the 3Rs! Bring your own reusable bags, bottles, and containers when you go shopping. Make an effort to reduce the amount of waste you generate by using reusable bags, bottles, and containers. When shopping, choose products with minimal packaging and opt for items that can be recycled. Use Fresh Direct? Make sure those reusable bags make it to a local food pantry like the Springs Food Pantry so they can be put to good use.
Cruise the Hamptons in Style: Put some wind in your hair and some eco-friendliness in your heart by cycling or walking around the Hamptons. Bonus points for bringing along a picnic and enjoying the fresh air!
Shop Local and Organic: Keep it fresh by hitting up the Hamptons' farmers' markets and local producers. Our favorites are Amber Waves Farm and Balsam Farm—but they are all amazing!
Get Your Water Consciousness Flowing: The water is what draws us to The Hamptons and it's essential to conserve it. Make small changes: Take shorter showers, fix any leaks, and install low-flow shower heads and toilets. Bonus points for getting your hydration from reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastics.
Shine a Light on Solar Power: Turn up the sunshine and turn down the carbon emissions by installing solar panels on your pad. Your energy bill will thank you, and Mother Earth will give you a high five.
Keep it Native and Chill: Planting native species in your garden is a fantastic way to support local ecosystems and reduce water usage. Keep it easy-breezy with plants that are low-maintenance and resistant to pests and diseases.
Compost Like a Boss: Get your green thumbs going by starting a compost bin or using a local composting service. It's a great way to reduce waste while creating rich soil for your plants.
