Earth Matters
(Continued)
Easy steps to take today to consume less:
- Commit to re-usable bags for all your shopping trips (pro tip: keep some in your car so you’re never without them!)
- Ask for paper bags during your next grocery trip and re-use the bags to hold recyclables or compost in your kitchen before transferring to the larger bin in your garage
- Use your own travel mug when visiting coffee shops
- Always have a refillable water bottle handy
- Turn table scraps and other compost into fertilizer
- Borrow or rent seasonal tools and machinery
- Shop for clothing second-hand and donate old clothing
- Switch to refillable cleaning solution bottles (maybe try making your own cleaning solutions with common kitchen ingredients)
- Use rags for cleaning and dusting instead of disposable cloths, and create those rags from cut up old shirts
- Keep a set of reusable to-go utensils (made of wood) in your purse, brief case, or computer bag
