During Christmas time, don't forget to still maintain your efforts in keeping your home green and eco-friendly! It doesn't need a drastic move for you to make a huge difference in making your home a little bit more sustainable. Most likely, the kitchen will be your hub as the holidays go -- and these tips will surely help you in reducing waste and doing your small part in saving the environment.
When it comes to cleaning, opt for friendlier options like baking soda and white cleaners. Also, if you want to get creative, there are so many DIY cleaners that you could definitely try out. They're not only cheaper, but they also do your health good. Here are some simple recipes for homemade cleaners that you could use beyond the kitchen.
We know it's very tempting to use paper plates and plastic cups whenever you have gatherings at home, but did you know that you'll actually add more waste and doing less of an effective effort in taking care of the environment? If you can't help it, there are many green options there like those that made out of corn fiber. Just make sure that the material is biodegradable or made of recycled materials.
Speaking of gatherings, that means a high probability of high food waste. Now it's time to take the compost bin out! The seemingly endless pile of vegetable peels can now be of good use, and it'll be a good excuse for you to finally start on that planting hobby that you've always wanted to try.
Did you know that paper towels cause so much waste? Go for alternative options like cloth diapers. You'd be surprised at how effective they are too. They are highly versatile, highly absorbent, inexpensive, and most of all, you can easily wash them for future reuse.
