How to Make Sustainable Side Hustle Work for You
As another Earth Day passes and we enter National Small Business Month, there is no better time to talk about how to be sustainable as a small business owner or side hustler.
Whether you want to create a hustle centered around sustainability or incorporate a more sustainable model into your current side hustle or small business, practicing sustainability is a meaningful way to participate in the gig economy.
The gig economy refers to the market of small business owners and side hustlers who’ve created businesses based on their talents and passions. Incorporating sustainability into your gig economy hustle not only sets yourself apart in a positive way, but it can also help you develop a more long-lasting and manageable business model.
Sustainability in business and hustle could be something as simple as using recycled materials in your products. However you choose to incorporate sustainability into your hustle, sustainability in business is about creating long-term value in your business. You can measure sustainability and long-term value in your business or hustle by observing how your business interacts with the ecological, social and economic environment.
