1. Reuse, Reuse, Reuse
Remember your reusables! I’m sure you’re used to taking your reusable bags to the grocery shops by now. Start adding to that. Add in some reusable produce/bulk food bags/jars. Then add taking your own cutlery, rather than using plastic cutlery. No one enjoys using plastic cutlery anyway. Always treat yourself to your nice silverware!
2. Sort your bathroom out!
Obviously, we had to put this in here somewhere! Swapping out your toothbrush for a Bamboo toothbrush is most peoples first eco-swap. It works just like your normal toothbrush, just without the plastic. The same goes for The ECO Floss it’s plastic-free, vegan-friendly, compostable dental floss! Starting your day with a bamboo toothbrush puts you in the mindset to reduce your plastic from the minute you wake up.
3. Use what you have
The easiest way to not add any more plastic to your life is to use the things you already have! Before buying something new look around your home. What could you re-purpose to do what you’re looking for? Do you need that fancy new coffee cup or could you just use a jar that you already have? You can even dress it up with some old fabric you were going to bin!
4. Buy Second hand
If you can’t find a plastic-free alternative and you can’t re-purpose something you already have. Buy second hand! Not only will it save you money but if you go to your local op shop you’re usually supporting one charity or another with your purchases! It’s a double win.
