Last time I was talking about getting an e-reader, because it might be a bit better for the environment. Today I would like to discuss some other products to reduce your amount of waste. We throw away a lot of trash every day, most of it involves paper or plastic. Plastic is a non-renewable resource that never breaks dow. Not only is it bad for the environment, is’s aslo very hurtful to animals.
So, what about some alternatives?
In the bathroom:
- Recycled toilet paper
- Handkerchiefs
- Shower hourglass (to save some water)
For the ladies (sorry gentlemen, this might be some information you do not want to know about):
- Menstruation cups
- Washable feminine pads
- Washable cleansing pads
If you have children:
- Washable diapers
- Washable wipes
- Re-usable nursing pads
In the kitchen:
- Cloth towels (for drying hands and dishes)
- Re-usable lunch bags
- Shopping bag
- Bread bag
- Fruit bag
- Microfiber cloths
- Cloth napkins
- Real plaids, forks, spoons etcetera (instead of plastic ones)
- Make your own cleaning products and put them into old bottles
