I try not to be wasteful although I'm not always good at it. But there are some easy ways to be more sustainable and eco-friendly.

Skip the Plastic Loofah

Swap Out the Clay Kitty Litter (not biodegradable)

Avoid Buying Single-Use Cleaning Products.

Ditch the Kitchen Sponge. Invest in a durable dishwashing brush and silicone pan scrubber.

Switch Out the Plastic Toothbrush.

Reconsider Wastebasket Liners

Adjust Your Shower Water Pressure and Temperature

Only Run a Full Dishwasher

Clean Up Your Coffee Habit. If you use a Keurig for your daily cup of joe, think about switching to reusable pods you can fill with your favorite ground coffee. For a Chemex, there are reusable stainless steel filters you can order.
