Becoming eco friendly can be a daunting task. Where to start? Do you buy organic, get rid of all plastics, save water, use toxic free cleansers, compost, get a canteen, walk to work, start a garden? It can be so overwhelming to decide how to make these important changes. So I decided to start posting a weekly tip that is easy to accomplish and easy to incorporate into your daily life.
So without further ado, here we go!
Tip #1: Ban the disposables!
Remember when using the good dishes/silverware/napkins
was such a special treat?
Now you can treat yourself everyday! You may have a few more dishes, but you'll have a lot less garbage and save a few trees in the process.
*Use cloth napkins*Skip the paper plates
*Don't use plastic utensils. Yes, even the little ones can handle real silverware!
*Store items in reusable containers - stainless steel, glass, repurposed cereal bags, etc.
*Use the nice drinking glasses and wine goblets - even if it is just water!
Make the change one meal at a time, one day at a time and pretty soon you won't even miss the paper & plastics goods!
