Purpose

Sandip Dhole, with Sagarika Mishra and Santosh Mishra, launched Sustainability Tips on Substack in November 2024 to raise everyday readers' awareness of sustainability issues – and to give them small, practical actions they can adopt now.

Practice

The team has published a weekly post ever since – 87 to date – covering waste and recycling, food and diet, energy and e-waste, with dedicated series including “Behind the Green Curtain” on greenwashing and “Sustainability in Our Cities.”

Output

The blog has grown to 38 subscribers who receive regular, accessible content connecting everyday choices to broader sustainability outcomes, building an archive of Australian sustainability topics from household waste to national energy policy.

Outcome and impact

Readers gain practical knowledge for more sustainable choices and become better informed on corporate and government sustainability practice – equipped to hold institutions accountable. By connecting individual behaviour to systemic issues, the blog contributes, in a small but sustained way, to broader public sustainability literacy in Australia.
