As I look to become more sustainable and produce less waste, here are some swaps I made in 2024 and January 2025.
In 2024 I switched over to Grove cleaners and using reusable microfiber cloths. So far I really like this change and don’t mind the extra laundry. Realistically it’s not extra because I wash them with my clothes or towels half the time so I’m not actually doing additional loads of laundry. Another swap I made in 2024 was using bar shampoo conditioner and body soap and honestly it works really well. I still have some bottles of shampoo and conditioner but I usually save them for when I have guests.
This month I made a lot of swaps. Natural fiber dish and jar scrubbers, bamboo toothbrush and floss, bring your own grocery bags, and un-paper towels and linen napkins. I also started composting. My mindset has been on buying less stuff wrapped in plastic which means buying fresh fruits and veggies instead of frozen all the time. This means I have to be more mindful when I shop to make sure I don’t buy too much and then accidently letting it go bad in my house.
Let me know what swaps you have made in the effort to be more eco friendly.
