3 Easy Ways to be More Earth Friendly!

It is hard to know where to begin when you want to start becoming more environmentally conscious. There are so many things you can do, and it can definitely become overwhelming and confusing. So I have a list of three ways to go eco-friendly to help you get started! These are all little steps you can take to help our world, but when you consistently apply these they create a huge impact!

The first way to go eco-friendly is to purchase a bamboo toothbrush. Every toothbrush ever used is still on Earth. By purchasing a sustainable biodegradable toothbrush, you can assure that no more plastic toothbrush waste is littering our environment. It is a great purchase to start off with because you use it everyday and it will remind you of all the waste you are saving!

The second environmentally-friendly option is choosing a reusable water bottle. Owning and using a reusable bottle saves four to five plastic bottles/cups per day, 120 per month, and 1460 per year. Isn’t that awesome?! You save all that trash from washing into the ocean by just reusing a bottle!

Of all the ways to become sustainable, thrift shopping is my favorite. A lot of companies that sell cheap clothing often have bad working environments for their employees and use materials that are horrible for us and our planet. It can be hard to find clothing companies that are good to their employees and use sustainable materials. And often when you do find them, they can be expensive. Thrift shopping is a great alternative. It keeps clothes out of landfills, doesn’t support those bad companies, and offers awesome clothes for cheap! I can’t tell you how many cute pieces of clothing I’ve found at a thrift store for less than five dollars! It’s a fun, cheap, and sustainable lifestyle choice. 

There you have it-- three easy ways to go eco-friendly. Hope this opened your eyes to some non-polluting ideas! Of course, there are many more things you can do, but this is a great start!
