Simple Swaps to Become More Eco Friendly

The easiest way to become more eco-friendly is to analyse the things you use on a day-to-day basis and seek out versions that are more environmentally friendly.  Here’s a list of things you may want to consider switching to…

• Shower Gel in plastic bottles to bar soap.
• Shampoo and conditioner in bottles to solid versions.
• Cleaning products to more eco-friendly versions.
• Plastic toothbrushes to wooden ones.
• Vacuum cleaners to sweeping brush.
• Plastic wrap for silicone wrap or beeswax wrap.
• Plastic carrier bags to canvas totes.
• Plastic single use drinks bottles for re-usable ones.

You could switch plastic wrapped food items, particularly plastic packaged goods, to loose dried goods that can be packaged in your own re-usable containers or look for goods that are packed in glass or tin that can be recycled or re-used.

Cut down on the amount of electric and gas that you use by turning things off…
