One of the easiest things to do to live a more green lifestyle is to buy reusable products instead of disposable ones. These can range from things to drink from to cleaning products. Here are a few easy ones to incorporate in your daily life today…
- Coffee Mugs vs. Paper or Styrofoam Cups
- Washable Plates vs. Paper
- Cloth Napkins vs. Paper
- Cloth Diapers vs. Disposable
- Sponges or Rags vs. Paper Towels
- Reusable Coffee Filters vs. Paper
- Reusable Silverware vs. Plastic
- Canvas Shopping Bag vs. Paper or Plastic
- Lunch Box vs. Plastic Baggies
People often think that because they are using products that can be thrown away to spare them the effort of washing up, is the way to go, but they don’t stop and think that they are throwing away valuable items.
Short post, but very relevant! If every person decided to live a reusable lifestyle, imagine how much we could save over the years! Mother Earth would surely be very proud. 🙂 Because we’re more than just a sustainable clothing company selling clothes, we also share tips on our blog about living a greener and healthier life. It’s nice to see coffee mugs on top of your list — that’s Day 20 of our 31-Day series!
19 BILLION single-use plastic bags are distributed every year in California alone. Over 40% of marine mammal species and bird species are recorded to be negatively impacted by plastics by entanglement or ingestion. Thank you for mentioning the canvas bag! The word needs to be spread! REFUSE, reuse, reduce, recycle! 🙂
