One thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is to make your kitchen a little more environmentally friendly. The best part is, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to make small sustainable changes.
Some ways you can cut down on waste:
- Swap out bottled water for a pitcher with a filter and some reusable water bottles
- Replace your plastic tupperware containers with glass or metal versions
- Get some metal straws for home and travel
- Replace paper towels with fabric kitchen towels
- Only run your dishwasher when it’s full
- Buy some reusable, washable snack bags instead of ziploc bags
- Look for minimal packaging on the products you buy
- Swap out Saran Plastic Wrap for more eco-friendly reusable Bee’s Wrap
- If you have the ability, buy a compost bin to toss in unused food scraps
Other ways you can help the environment:
- Use natural cleaning products without harmful chemicals
- Replace your Teflon pans – look for stainless steel or cast iron alternatives
- Use mineral instead of chemical sunscreen
