6. Swap your plastic toothbrush for a bamboo one

7. Use skin cleansers & moisturizers made with clean ingredients and eco-friendly packaging

For those that are always on the go:

Make good choices while out and about...

1. Take a reusable water bottle instead of buying a single use plastic bottle

2. Remember your reusable bags when you go grocery shopping

3. Use reusable cutlery to eat your meals instead of single use-plastic

4. Try to plan ahead & pack meals for dasy out (we love this bento box) instead of ordering take out - your body, wallet, & the planet will thank you!

5. Travel with all your essentials made in bar form instead of buying small format toiletries during trips

For literally anyone that lives in a home:

Here are some simple changes for a greener, cleaner home...

1. Cut old, stained, torn shirts into rags for cleaning instead of buying new rags

2. Store leftovers in beeswax wrap instead of plastic wrap or tin foil 

3. Hang-dry laundry to reduce energy use & keep clothes in good condition 

4. Goodbye paper towels, hello Swedish dish cloths

5. Cut over-ripe bananas into pieces & freeze for baking or smoothies

For the fashionistas of the world:

Instead of supporting shameless fast-fashion brands....

1. Plan a day to go shopping at your local thrift stores. Invite friends, dress up, and make it an occasion!

2. If online shopping is more your vibe, check out the largest online thrift store around: ThredUp

3. Keep your wardrobe constantly fresh the eco-friendly way when you sign up for a clothes rental subscription from brands like Nuuly or Armoire

4. Shop from brands that "walk the talk" & don't just greenwash. Research their sustainability practices & notice how their values drive business decisions.
