DAY 134 | Reusable Pads

I’ve been wanting to get reusable pads for years but never really sat down to order them. They seem great but there’s always the sanitary issue… However, you just have to learn how keep up with the cleanliness! No big deal. So as soon as my pads dry up, I’m going to be investing in … Read more

DAY 133 | Foraging

When you think of food growing in random places, you may not think it’s wasteful. Because they fall to the ground and decompose naturally. That’s true! But foraging can be fun. I like to think of it as a free way to get some nuts and greens without plastic or stickers. FallingFruit.org is a cool … Read more

DAY 132 | Donate Food Waste

I always go back into researching about composting. It’s great it’s wonderful it sounds like a lot of fun. And there are so many benefits to it. You can create fertilized soil which you can use to grow amazing plants, you’re saving food from going to landfills, and you are over all reducing your carbon … Read more

DAY 131 | Search with Ecosia

Ecosia ( https://www.ecosia.org/ ) is a search engine that uses its profits to plant trees. I think this is an easy way to make a difference since everyone searches the web every day. Why not trade Google in sometimes for Ecosia? Trees get planted and you get the information you’re looking for. Right now they … Read more

DAY 130 | Ban the Aerosol

I’m not a fan of aerosol cans. We don’t buy fresheners or hair spray or those weird spray deodorants. Looking around my space, however, shows a different story. I see spray paint and other cans in my husband’s stuff. So now we’re going to use up what we have and find alternatives for now on. … Read more

DAY 129 | Limit the TV

I don’t watch a lot of TV. The majority of my watch time is at night since I need a show to listen to, so I can go to sleep peacefully. I only need it for about 30-40 minutes before I’m out. Now, the wastefulness comes in past those 30 minutes. The TV has a … Read more

DAY 128 | Ban the Gum

I’m not the biggest gun chewer, but now I’m officially banning them for my life. A quick Google search tells me that it takes 50 years for gum to decompose. Not only that, but it takes 500 years for it to be completely gone and 100% recycled. That’s absurd. Along with the packaging and each … Read more

DAY 127 | Buy Spices in Bulk

Whether you buy the biggest size available or find bulk bins near you, getting spices in bulk will save on your plastic usage. Spices and tea are the only bulk bins that are easily available to me. However, they are extremely overpriced. But whenever I can, I will go that route. But in the meantime, … Read more

DAY 126 | Recycle Shoes

So my shoes are finally getting worn down with holes. Any day now they’re probably going to be rendered unusable. So I’m looking into my recycling options and they don’t look too good. It looks like my only option is Nikes Reuse-A-Shoe program. They only do sneakers. And the closest one to me is 77 … Read more

DAY 125 | Bar Body Wash

I’m going to slowly transition to buying bar soap only. Bar soap with little to no packaging is the perfect alternative to plastic bottles of liquid soap. Plus liquid soap is a watered-down product! One step at a time is the best way to go about this 🙂 I can’t wait to get bar soaps … Read more
