There are many options out there to replace more environmentally harmful products that we use every day. It is important to remember the adage: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
One of the most important things that you can do is try to keep trash out of the landfills and oceans. Composting is a great start and the byproduct is usable around the garden. Avoid buying single-use plastics, and where possible, use non-plastic alternatives. Super important to stop sending micro-plastics into our oceans. They are destroying our marine environments. Kids love glitter and this is a big problem. It is a little more expensive, but there are even environmentally friendly glitter alternatives!
Online shopping is extremely convenient, but if you don’t need it urgently, and chances are you don’t, please choose the slow shipping options! It saves money and it is better for the environment. Watch this great video from CNN on the impacts from rush shipping.
