Eco-Home

I'd like to think that I've always been an eco-conscious person but my real quest to make "eco" changes in my life started a few years ago. I enjoy trying new eco products and sharing them on social media with my "Waste Free Wednesday" posts. Some changes are easier than others and sometimes eco changes are just not feasible for our current "season in life". Perhaps some of the things I try will inspire you to make some eco changes in your life too.

I absolutely love these soaps from Grove Co.! I had a really hard time finding a good solution for refillable hand & dish soap containers - most refillables came in plastic containers which defeated the whole purpose for me. So I love that these containers are aluminum (aka they are infinitely recyclable), their ingredients are non-toxic, and they smell delicious!

Most dishwashing tools we use are made mostly of plastic & don't decompose when we are done with them. These dish brushes have a reusable handle and you just change out the head when it's worn down. The heads are made with plant-based bristles so it can all decompose. Bonus...my hands aren't as dry after constantly washing dishes because the long handle does the hard work 🙂 These are from Package Free but you can find more options on Amazon too.

Please tell me you don't still use the single-use K-cups 🙁 Every Keurig comes with these reusable pods that you just pour your ground coffee into and pop it into the machine. Your coffee will taste better because it's actually fresh & you can get it from the cute coffee shop in town and you will be saving an immense amount of pods from entering the trash.

I just had to share this adorable Earth Day mailer I did this Spring! These all natural wood pencils had a capsule at the end that contained basil seeds. So when you are done with the pencil, you stick it in some dirt, water it and you'll have some yummy basil leaves growing in no time. How fun is that?!!
