Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Get outside, get some sunshine and enjoy this beautiful planet we call home! 🌞🌸🌲
Protecting the Earth can be done many ways. Some swaps I’ve made in my life include:
-Reusable grocery bags (so much easier to carry anyways).
-Bamboo cotton swabs instead of q-tips made with plastic and plastic packaging.
-Cotton dryer balls that last years instead of single use dryer sheets full of chemicals and packaging that ends up in landfills. Saves money in the long run!
-Reusable cups made from metal or glass as opposed to bottled water.
-Buying quality clothing instead of having a lot of cheap options made from synthetic fabrics that fall apart and end up getting thrown away. Fast fashion is not it.
-Using kitchen items that are plastic free and hold up a lot longer over time (also better for your own health)
-Avoiding self care products with harmful chemicals including but not limited to oxybenzone, oxtinoxate, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances (they contain VOCs and phthalates), polyethylene and polypropylene.
-Opening the curtains for natural light instead of using artificial lighting.
-Planting native plants that support biodiversity.
There are so many ways to be better for our planet, for our generation and for future generations. I refuse to ignore issues, ways to improve and all the educational tools at our finger tips. Small changes add up and make a difference. 🌍
