Choosing more sustainable options in your daily life is beneficial. You get more value from your products, which saves you money, plus it helps the environment by creatin less waste. If you are eager to make some eco-friendly switches but don’t know where to start, start with these simple areas.

Ditch Single Use Water Bottles

One of the best swaps you can make is switching from disposable water bottles to reusable ones. Reusable water bottles hold more water than your standard plastic ones and they come in a variety of colors and patterns to fit anyone's style. If you just simply don’t enjoy the taste of your tap water, you can outfit your faucet with a filter or get a filtered water pitcher so you can have refreshing, cold water all the time.

Avoid Excess Paper Products

Paper products are also widely used in American households. A solution to paper plates can be investing in a set of reusable plates. Or you can get a few sets for all different occasions. Paper napkins can be replaced with washable cloth napkins. If you’re handy with a needle and thread, you can even make your own simple napkin squares.

Reuse

In today’s society, it can be difficult to remove all disposable things from our lives. Before you throw something away, think about ways that you can possibly reuse that item. Can you reuse that sauce jar? Can you utilize that plastic takeout container? Just switching your mindset a little can go a long way. And you may be pleasantly surprised with what you can reuse.
