005 Coronavirus Normality? What's normal?
/

Overview

It is strange times in which we’re all living. None of us has ever experienced anything like this “Coronavirus normality”. This time we discuss the things that have changed, what will continue to be different and what we can learn from this new normal.

Take away actions

  • Think smarter about power usage, travel and all forms of consumption
  • Do you need it (gadget, clothes, etc)?
  • Better life planning – reduce
  • Continue with the regular exercise
  • Continue (or start) growing your own food – apply for an allotment – the government is bound by law to meet the demand
  • “Use, Reuse, Recycle” could change to “Refuse (to buy), Reduce, Use, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle”
  • Net Zero is best achieved by not using electricity in the first place, not by masking excessive use with offsetting projects
  • Grow/make/do it yourself rules – learn by doing
