1.For snacks, make sure to buy local and organic produce and food stuffs.

2.For snack containers, get those reusable plastic containers.

3.Don’t forget to recycle like printing on both sides of the paper.

4.Introduce your kids to the idea of walking, biking or taking a carpool to school.

5.Always choose eco friendly school supplies for arts and crafts projects and other needs for school!

1. Your baby is the most precious thing in the world to you. It should only be right that the baby wipes that he uses are of the most natural and chemical-free kind as well. Try Method’s biodegradable and flushable wipes!

2. Choose a biodegradable paper towel brand like Seventh Generation for your paper towels. These are completely made out of recycled paper and won’t turn into mush. They are as absorbent as normal paper towels too!

3. Get a toilet scrubber that you can flush away after using! It’s called Scrub and Flush and its flushable because the head is made out of recycled paper.

4. Husky Premium recycled bags really do the job and are perfect for packing away trash.

Want to lend a hand in saving our home? Start off with these unbelievably simple environment-friendly tips!

1. Use a water pitcher at home and quit it with the water bottles that only clog our landfills!

2.Try to cut down on your red meat- even if you only do it once a week! The production of red meat is really a resource consuming and environmentally straining and taxing process. If you cut down on it, you’ll be helping save water that is used to prepare it!

3.Make sure your dish washing liquid is natural and plant based- These kinds do not poison our rivers and water supply!

4.Remove yourself from junk mail lists- Don’t subscribe to catalogs all the time. These are a waste of paper, and you’re only gonna throw them out eventually!

5.Change your showerhead- get the high efficiency ones as well as those with water aerators. These will reduce water consumption and heater use!

Let your hair join the green movement! Not literally of course! What I mean is looking for some shampoo that’s good for the environment too!

A Shampoo that’s green and all natural has many benefits not only to the environment, but to you too. Natural shampoo works best on people that have man allergies, especially to certain scents and chemicals. Green shampoo also doesn’t contain potentially harmful chemicals that might even be carcinogenic. Also, it must be said that green shampoo won’t add to the polluted chemicals going down the drain into our rivers and oceans!

We recommend the Alba botanica if you’re in the market for an environmentally friendly shampoo and conditioner. LUSH also carries a great solid version that is free of SLS! Check these products out today! They’ll do wonders for your hair, I promise!

Here are more stuff that we can start at home to help out our environment just a little more!

1. Segregate our waste! This becomes easier if we set up different waste bins for our wet garbage or perishables and our dry garbage.

2. Stop buying bottled water. Plastic bottles can only be use done time and take so long to degrade. Instead, invest in water containers for each family member and fill these up with water from the sink!

3.Encourage hand me downs. Don’t think of hand me down clothes as something of a lesser value, especially in front of the kids. Keep the older kid’s clothes so that later the younger ones can use them as well. This will save you money too!

Every little bit makes a difference. If we all change just one or two of our bad habits and go for more environmentally friendly ways, our combined efforts could turn into something huge and significant! There’s no better place to start than home! So when you can, employ these simple tips and help make the world a better place!

1. Use less paper towels. Make old shirts into rags to wipe countertops and surfaces with.

2.Place a cup or a glass next to the sink where you brush your teeth in. Instead of having the water running the whole time, fill the glass once and drink from it when you rinse your mouth, gargle, and clean your mouth again. This can gelp save hundreds of clean water in a year!

3.Change your light bulbs to “green” ones. These incandescent bulbs provide the same amount of light but use less energy. They last longer than normal ones too, so you’ll save on your shopping and electricity bills as well.
