Living Without Disposables
Most people committed to going green have switched from using bottled water to reusable water bottles, but that’s not the only disposable product you can eliminate from your life. Earlier this month, Jennifer Chait posted a long list of ways to replace your disposables. Some of my favorites:
- Instead of store plastic produce bags use cloth produce bags.
- Instead of ice pops from the store choose reusable ice pop molds and make homemade ice pops.
- Instead of new bottles of shampoo, get a refillable bottle and buy shampoo in bulk at the co-op.
- Instead of paper coffee filters use a reusable coffee filter.
- Instead of disposable razors choose an electric razor.
Jennifer lists a number of other good disposable-replacement ideas at Blisstree. Check it out today and list your own tip as a comment below!
