In our current work environment, we’re working remotely, creating an eco-friendly workplace, and supporting sustainability. 

If you’ve been noticing that your work life has changed dramatically in the last few years, you are in good company. The radical changes have altered expectations, norms, and standards for many Americans. 

What can you do to enjoy the transformation? 

Here are 4 tips to help you support sustainability as you work.

Embrace Remote Work

Initially, when professionals started working from home, a lot of people were upset. We were used to face-to-face meetings, social interaction, and in-person camaraderie. The idea of working from a home office seemed unappealing to many people. 

However, flash forward to today. Now, we are happily working from home, enjoying the freedom and independence of setting our hours. If you’ve managed to escape this trend, consider the benefits of remote work.

Working from home can help you take control of your time and your life. You won’t have a long and tedious commute. You’ll be able to play with your children if you have kids. And you won’t be the absentee husband/wife/ partner that you might have been in days when you worked in an office. 

The decision to move to Scrum and Agile culture may sound very linear and clean, it’s important to note that a number of internal projects and teams focused around components of products and just started using Scrum.

Embrace Healthy Living

A sustainable work-life is healthy and balanced. If you’re working remotely or in a hybrid arrangement, focus on maintaining your mental and physical health. This means making it a priority. 

Healthy decisions include setting boundaries around work. You may have done this at the office, but now you need to maintain regular working hours from your home office, as well as set boundaries with your family, housemates, or friends. 

It’s easy to forget that healthy living starts with having a healthy and balanced attitude towards work. Our work-centered society can get the better of our time, energy, and attention. By making your health a priority, you’ll take care of your part to have a happy, healthy planet. Starting with your mind, heart, and body. 

Embrace Healthy Transportation

We do love our cars, don’t we? That’s why one of the smartest decisions to help the planet is to shift to electric transportation. If you’re thinking about which car to buy, there are many makes and models to choose from. 

However, one of the most popular is Tesla. The sleek design of this electric vehicle offers an unparalleled experience for the driver as well as for maintaining a green ethos. In addition to beauty and driving efficiency, you’ll find that it’s very convenient to locate a convenient Tesla charger.

This means you won’t have to stress over where to recharge your Tesla. You’ll find that like many electric cars, the option to do fast charging makes driving electric even more attractive. 

Embrace Alternative Transportation

Let’s not forget that the car is only one option for transportation. To support earth health, and your health, get out of your car regularly. When you do, turn to alternative transportation. 

Remember bike riding? It may have been a while, but many communities rely on bikes as the main mode of transportation. If you’ve been to Amsterdam, you know how joyful it is to see people of all ages traveling across town on bikes. Why not get this trend started in your area?

Remember walking? It could be that you live in an area with an exceptional walking score. If so, you most likely selected this neighborhood because of its walkability. Now that you’re living here, why not go for a stroll? Take a walk to the local corner store. Go watch the stars at a local park. Bake something to bring to a neighbor down the street. 

Remember car sharing? It could be that you did this when you were in high school or college. Why not initiate some carpooling for group events and outings? Perhaps there is a need for a carpool in your neighborhood. Talk with your friends and associates to explore options. 

As you evaluate ways to embrace sustainability, keep an open mind. You’ll start with simple shifts, share ideas, and grow your toolkit. In no time, people will ask you for input about how to start and keep an eco-friendly lifestyle.
