In our previous article, we've shared a few tips on how to lead a more eco-friendly life without making drastic changes. The summary is: recycle more, buy fewer things you don't need and waste less food. Our suggestions imply a slight mindset shift towards a more sustainable life which benefits the environment and your bank account as well.
Now we're back with a few extra ideas, as easy to implement as the previous ones.
1. Buy recyclable/biodegradable replacements for your kitchen staples.
We've recently discovered a really nice eco-friendly brand that produces compostable paper items such as coffee filters, baking paper and sandwich bags, as well as 100% recyclable aluminium foil and trash bags. They're called If You Care and you can order their products online. Moreover, in the recipes section of their website you can find many meal ideas which are both healthy and waste-free. If you intend to make your household more eco-friendly, check them out!
2. Bring your own bag at the grocery store or do shopping online.
You've probably never thought that being a bit lazy can do wonders for the environment, but think about it for one second: by having groceries delivered at your doorstep, you eliminate car trips and carbon emissions. A single delivery van makes one trip for multiple customers, and many supermarkets should offer the option of "no bags" to make your shopping experience even more sustainable.
However, if you have to do your own shopping, bring your own bag to the store and cut down on single-use plastic bags. You can even buy a cute and cheap fabric tote bag!
3. Compost!
Such an easy thing can make a big difference, since food remains make up nearly 30% of total landfill waste. By composting, you can prevent your leftovers from letting off methane - and you can use the composted materials to fertilize your garden. That's what we call a win-win situation!
You can buy an affordable composter online or you can check out companies in your area that will literally come at your door to pick up your leftovers. Check out this link for the best composters on the market or this page to find companies in charge with this in your area.
