Day 6 | Eco-Friendly Ramadan

Ramadan is a month of mindfulness and restraint, but it's also become a month of consumption. Food waste. Plastic plates. Single-use decorations. Mountains of packaging.

How do you honor a sacred month without leaving a trail of waste behind?

In this episode, we explore eco-friendly Ramadan, practical ways to celebrate sustainably without sacrificing the joy or meaning of the month.

You'll discover:

1. Why food waste contradicts the very purpose of fasting
2. Simple swaps to reduce single-use plastics at iftars
3. How to make sustainable choices without overwhelming yourself
4. Why decorations don't have to be disposable
5. The connection between environmental care and spiritual values

This isn't about perfection. It's about making one small change, cooking smaller portions, composting leftovers, using reusable containers, that aligns your practice with your values.

If a million people each made one eco-friendly choice this Ramadan, that's not small. That's a movement.

Whether you're observing the holy month and fasting, or simply interested in sustainable living during cultural celebrations, this episode offers practical guidance for honoring tradition while caring for the planet.
