How to Build a Sustainability Starter Pack!
We’re all about sustainability and being better humans to our earth, so we’ve partnered with Etsy who have sponsored this post to help build your Sustainability Starter Pack! Check out the eco-friendly and sustainable items you need to add to your everyday routine.
IN THE KITCHEN
There are so many wasteful products in the kitchen that rely on single-use plastics, so why not eliminate those for some eco-friendly alternatives? Try using beeswax food wraps* instead of plastic wrap or tin foil to keep your food fresher, longer, naturally.
OUT AND ABOUT
The world has changed these last few months but that doesn’t mean your zero-waste lifestyle has to. Pass on the disposable face coverings while in public, and opt for a reusable face mask* that is stylish, comfortable and helps to protect yourself and others! Sustainability isn’t boring, so pair your face mask with an oversized reusable canvas tote* so you can refuse the plastic bag at the next check out line.
IN A GIFT
There are even ways to give the gift of sustainability, starting with illustrated greeting cards* that double as wall art! Tell your friend to frame your card when they’re done instead of throwing it away, and they’ll appreciate the sentiment long after their event.
IN THE BATHROOM
The bathroom is not the most glamorous place to show off your eco-friendly swag, but it is an effective place to implement it! Start with your old plastic toothbrush and replace it with a biodegradable bamboo one.* Then finish up your makeup cotton pad pack and switch to using washable and reusable fabric cotton pads* that work even better than disposables.
AT THE GROCERY STORE
Most fruits and veggies have natural skins to protect the insides from contamination, which means those thin plastic bags they provide at the grocery store are actually not needed. Try using breathable reusable mesh bags* or cotton mesh bags* to keep your produce together and let the fruits and veggies do their job naturally!
AT THE DINING TABLE
Plastic cutlery and straws are a prime example of old habits running strong. Bring a set of reusable cutlery* with you in a convenient carrying case so that you can be the coolest (and most responsible!) one at the restaurant.
