Be More Panda: Simple New Year Resolutions That Will Deliver A Big Impact in 2025

Ever notice how pandas have life totally figured out? No stress. No drama. Just chilling out in nature and being obsessed with bamboo. What if we told you 2025 could be your most panda year yet?

Being More Panda doesn’t mean upending your whole life. It’s about those small, sustainable switches—like saying 'no thanks' to plastic or finally bringing your reusable coffee cup to the office.

Here’s the thing: Being More Panda isn’t about doing everything. It’s about making the right choices. The fun, easy ones that feel good for you and your family—and great for the planet. Because we want to make sustainability as stress-free as, well… being a panda.

Want to join in? These simple ideas will have you saying “Saving the Earth? Easy peasy, bamboo-squeezy!”

1.  Try being vegan! Now just ‘becoming’ vegan is not easy at all, we hear you. But what about starting by having one day a week where you cook vegan, we hear chickpea curry is stunning. Or can’t be bothered to cook? Why not try a local vegan restaurant – they’re everywhere now!
2. Instead of chucking your food waste in the bin, start a compost patch! This reduces the waste that ends up in landfill and has great benefits for your plants in the garden / allotment!
3. You’ve heard it all before, but our choice of transport can make such a difference! We’re not saying ditch the car, but why not dust off your bike in the garage or even walk (to reach the 10k steps obvs) for smaller journeys!
4.  Avoid single use plastic where possible! Plastic is (unfortunately) everywhere: shopping bags, water bottles, utensils… But this doesn’t have to be the case! We can all combat this with tote bags, reusable water bottles, reusable grocery containers and even bamboo toothbrushes!
5. Education! Wow, that sent shivers down our spines… But really what we mean is learning about our planet! It can be very easy to feel overwhelmed with all the bad news about our planet, but there’s also lots of great progress we’re making! Check out TED talks, they’re a great way to learn about current climate action.
6. Buy and sell second hand clothes – become the Del Boy of Vinted / Depop and fight fast fashion! Who knows, this time next year you could be a millionaire from clearing out your wardrobe (no promises)!
7. Support businesses that care about the environment… you’re actually reading a blog from one of them 😉
8.  Get out in nature! Being outside an appreciating our natural world is one of the best ways to inspire us all to protect it!

Happy New Year to all of you! And we hope you join us in 2025 in Being More Panda!
