Looking to adapt more than a wardrobe change to create a greener life? These are a few simple tips in order to create a greener healthier life that you can add to you daily routines, whether your goal is to use less harmful chemicals around the kiddos or to eliminate plastics from your life to save the turtles.
Having reusable bags when shopping eliminates the need for plastic bags lingering around your home or the need to pack your fruits and veggies in a small single use plastic bag.
Added bonus shopping at a farmers marker not only makes it easier to avoid those items that are just suffocated in plastic wrap to begin with but also brings healthier items into your home.
Having reusable straws both in your home and on the go eliminates the need for single use straws which are a top item found in animals in the ocean. There are various kinds of reusable straws to choose from, some major examples are bamboo or cardboard straws- which can be composted after use and food grade stainless-steel straws that wont stain, bend, or rust!
Another way to stop bringing plastic into your home is to get a reusable water bottle it saves money as well as the planet! Although not everyone will remember to bring water with them everyday so if you ever catch yourself outside with it its good to know that boxed water is a thing.
And remember ethically sourced and fair trade clothing not only gifts you with better quality long lasting products free of chemicals but also helps those who make those products. Making sure working conditions are safe for every individual.
