Every year on June 5th, the world celebrates World Environment Day — a moment to pause, reflect, and act for the health of our planet. At Nabhisutra, we believe the best way to care for the earth is not always through grand gestures or big campaigns, but through small, meaningful habits that begin at home.

We often think the responsibility to protect the environment lies with governments, large corporations, or climate activists. While their roles are crucial, the truth is — real, long-lasting change starts with us. It begins with how we consume, what we throw away, what we reuse, and how we live our daily lives.

We don’t have to change the entire world to make a difference. But if we change the way we live in our homes, the ripple effect can reach far and wide.

Here are 7 simple, everyday changes that can create an impact — both for your wellness and the planet's well-being.

1. Reuse Empty Skincare Bottles: Turn Waste into Purpose

Every year, millions of cosmetic and skincare containers end up in landfills. Most of them are made from plastic that takes centuries to decompose. But what if we told you that your empty serum bottle or moisturizer jar could find a second life?

we design our containers to be minimal, durable, and reusable. You can:

• Refill old bottles with DIY skin oils or natural tonics.
  
  

• Use jars to store pins, spices, travel creams, or even tiny planters.
  
  

• Create a “refill corner” in your bathroom to promote zero waste.
  
  

Not only does this reduce your environmental footprint, but it also adds a personal, conscious touch to your space.

Eco-Tip: Soak containers in warm water with baking soda to remove labels before reuse.

2. Compost Your Kitchen Waste: Let Nature Recycle Itself

Your kitchen generates more compostable waste than you think — vegetable peels, tea leaves, coffee grounds, eggshells, fruit skins. Most of this ends up in garbage bins, ultimately reaching landfills where it contributes to methane emissions.

Composting is nature’s way of recycling. By composting at home, you turn your waste into fertile soil — ideal for balcony gardens, potted herbs, or even gifting a “plant-and-pot” to friends.

Setting up a compost bin in a corner of your home or balcony is easier than you imagine. All you need is a container, some dry leaves, and a little patience.

Why it matters: Composting reduces household waste by up to 30%, and supports a natural cycle of renewal.

3. Say No to Plastic Packaging: Choose Sustainable Brands

Single-use plastic is one of the biggest environmental threats today. From packaging to carry bags to microplastics, our world is drowning in plastic.

As a clean, Ayurvedic wellness brand, Nabhisutra is consciously working towards plastic-free and recyclable packaging. Supporting brands that use eco-friendly packaging creates a shift in demand — encouraging the entire industry to follow suit.

As a consumer, ask:

• Is this packaging recyclable?
  
  

• Can I return this container for a refill?
  
  

• Is the brand transparent about its sustainability practices?
  
  

Pro Tip: Carry a tote bag when shopping, and store glass jars for reuse.

4. Switch to Natural Ingredients: Better for You and the Planet

Chemical-laden products not only harm your skin but also harm the water systems they get washed into. Every time we rinse off synthetic products, they can enter rivers and oceans, affecting marine life.

Choosing Ayurvedic and natural skincare is more than a wellness decision — it’s an eco-decision. Nabhisutra’s oils, creams, and therapies are made with plant-based ingredients, safe for you and the earth.

5. Practice Water-Saving Habits: Respect Every Drop

India faces one of the worst water crises in the world, and much of our daily water use is unconscious. Small changes can save hundreds of liters every week:

• Turn off the tap while washing your face or brushing teeth.
  
  

• Use a bucket instead of a shower for quick baths.
  
  

• Collect leftover RO water and use it to water plants.
  
  

These are age-old practices our grandparents followed — and they make more sense now than ever.

6. Shop Local, Support Slow Living

When you buy local, you support nearby communities, reduce transportation emissions, and often get fresher, more potent ingredients. We source herbs and oils from certified Indian farms that align with traditional Ayurvedic processes. By embracing slow living and conscious consumption, you help build a self-sufficient, earth-loving economy.

Did You Know? Local produce has a lower carbon footprint and is more nutrient-rich than items transported from afar.

7. Build Better Habits, One Family at a Time

You don’t have to start a movement. Just start at home.

• Teach children to segregate dry and wet waste.
  
  

• Encourage elders to reuse containers and carry cloth bags.
  
  

• Share composting tips with your domestic staff.
  
  

• Replace plastic containers with steel, glass, or ceramic options.
  
  

A sustainable home is a series of small decisions — repeated daily. And each of them carries the power to inspire others

This World Environment Day, Start With One Habi
