1. Don't throw away all your plastic- I feel that most people want to do this right away but in reality we are simply creating more waste. The best is to reuse what we already have & when those products are no longer useful, you can recycle , donate, or throw away.
2. Ditch the chemicals- It's very important to learn about what products you are using in your everyday routine, such as cleaning products. Beginning to make your own DIY cleaners & products is going to save you lots of $ and yourself (contamination)!
3. Always bring a reusable water bottle- This is a huge one. We all know drinking water is essential but bringing your own bottle will save you $, time, and our earth!
4. Second-Hand Shopping- This is seriously the best because once again, you get to save money, buy clothes for a cheaper price, & ditch the fast fashion industry.
5. Swap Items- Once your plastic items have been used to their max existence, it's definitely time to swap them out for more sustainable items. Some essential items include: bamboo toothbrush, reusable water bottle, eco-friendly phone case (Pela), stainless steel straw, reusable towels, stainless steel/glass food containers, stainless steel razor, reusable grocery bags, reusable zip-loc bags (stasher), and many more!
