Leisure time is meant to relax and have fun, but even here, you can pay a little attention to sustainability without much effort. Trying things out is part of it; it's a great way to broaden your horizons, gain new experiences, and perhaps discover new tastes.
Tip: Try vegetarian/vegan or sustainable cafes/restaurants instead of fast food or the cheapest takeaway. Less is more here: Quality and sustainable ingredients come at a price, and they're not reflected in a burger for €2-3—that can't work, no matter how much the advertising promises.
Tip: Hobbies are also a great way to pass the time and balance things out. You can also buy equipment or clothing used and save some money at the same time.
Tip: Buy used or borrow books: Do you sometimes enjoy reading a real book? These days, there are many ways to get them online, at flea markets, or even at the library. This saves money on the purchase and is incredibly sustainable, as many readers can benefit from them.
