Composting is just one of the many ways in which you can have a more sustainable lifestyle.

Changing your lifestyle may seem like a daunting task. But there are myriad ways—both big and small—to live more sustainably.

While doing things like transitioning a home to solar energy or buying an electric car might not be feasible for everybody, there are things that anyone can do to be more environmentally friendly.

Jared Opsal and Melissa Vatterott of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment joined Up To Date to talk about sustainable options to consider.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
As Up To Date’s senior producer, I construct daily conversations that give our listeners context to the issues of our time.
