There are several ways to do this. In particular, you can reduce your waste production by making zero waste products part of your routine. Here are 10 products to buy to have a green lifestyle.
Jars
If you want to integrate zero waste into your routine, it is better to have a few Mason jars in your possession. These items will help you keep your food at home in addition to grocery shopping in bulk stores.
Fabric bags
Cloth bags should also be part of the items you own. Try to buy them in organic cotton and carry them everywhere with you: at the grocery store, at work, etc. They will be very convenient for you when you shop and will avoid using plastic or paper bags.
Several pieces of fabric
It is good to have several pieces of fabric at hand. They will replace the traditional paper tissues and will be used daily in the house to perform household tasks such as cleaning the kitchen counter.
The environmentally friendly toothbrush
It has been some time since the ecological toothbrush appeared on the market. You can find them in bamboo, bioplastic, and some are vegan and biodegradable. The important thing is to reduce the amount of plastic thrown out each year! After all, dentists suggest that we change toothbrushes every 3 months…
Washable sanitary napkins and menstrual cup
In addition to being expensive, sanitary napkins and tampons are extremely polluting. However, we have to admit that we cannot do without it. However, it is possible to trade these products for washable sanitary napkins and menstrual cup, commonly known as “the cup”. Both products are environmentally friendly and will save you a lot of money. Just because you take care of the environment doesn’t mean you have to stop taking care of yourself!
