Have you ever made a purchase based solely on the appearance of the product? Are simple packaging or marketing words such as 'environmentally friendly' enough to make you choose one product over another? It is possible that you are falling prey to greenwashing. Everywhere and everywhere we go, this is an ever-present issue.

I love thrifting so much. It’s the coolest thing on earth if you ask me. There’s something so special about finding that perfect clothing piece that is worn just right, or that piece of furniture that gives a lived-in look to your space. A satisfaction you can't get from picking something off a rack at a store that has 10 or 15 duplicates on display.

I am a lazy composter. I don't really check the temperature of the compost, and I do not pay close attention to how moist it is. The length of time it takes to make compost is irrelevant to me. My attitude is just acceptance of whatever comes my way when it is ready. It would be nice if there was a place for me to drop off food waste and not have it end up in a landfill instead of managing it myself but for now, we will continue managing it at home.

It is remarkable that so many bathroom products take up so much space and produce so much trash. If you take a look around your space, you will quickly notice how many items will just end up being thrown out. I want to share my favorite zero-waste products to help you make your bathroom more eco-friendly. I took into consideration each item's lifespan and its impact upon disposal.

The world is drowning with stuff. Our houses are full of useless things, and we seem to have less and less space for everything we own. We buy clothes, tech, and other items that promise us a better life. Eventually, all those things are thrown away in landfills, generating billions of tons of carbon dioxide to spill into the atmosphere every year.

With a little bit of imagination a little bit of time, an old t-shirt can become your new favorite towel, or makeup remover pad, or even a cool bag. I find DIY is a great way to get in touch with your creative side and try something new. A great way to get off the screen and spend some time alone or with someone you love.
