As important as it is to be mindful of the how the products that we use impact us, we also have a responsibility to be aware of how we affect our planet. Here are a just few ways to help give back to Mother Earth:
Recycle
If single-stream recycling is available in your area, it makes recycling a breeze! No sorting is necessary and all you need is one bin.
Pick up some reusable grocery & produce bags
My husband and I do the majority of our shopping in the produce aisle. Not only are those little produce bags a nuisance to open, but you end up with so many of them! I also find that reusable bags hold a lot more, making them easier to carry.
Try out reusable food storage wraps
Instead of plastic wrap, try these beeswax-infused cotton flats for sustainable food storage. They stick beautifully!
Reusable snack bags
I take my lunch to work everyday, so these bags are a great green alternative to traditional snack bags.
Invest in a stainless steel or glass water bottle
Convert to biodegradable household cleaners
If you are interested in DIY non-toxic cleaners, a quick online search will yield countless recipes. Vinegar and lemon are two staples!Switch to green beauty products
