*Collaborative post
Today on the blog we’re talking all about eco friendly living, and 5 easy changes you can make today! We’re living in a world where changes need to be made, before it’s too late. So read on to see how you can make simple changes to create a more eco friendly world…
#1 Invest in eco friendly products
Using eco cleaning products can be a really good way to help the planet. This will prevent dangerous chemicals leaving your house and entering the natural environment. Not only this, but you’ll prevent your family from harmful chemicals within the household.
#2 Watch your water usage
Turning the tap off, having more showers compared to baths, and focusing on other water related reductions can really help the planet. This will reduce the energy used to clean and filter it, as well as reduce pollution.
#3 Buy less
Really think about whether you NEED the product you’re about to purchase. Buying throwaway fashion or needless food and supplies will lead to waste of the product and money. Always ask yourself, do I need this, or do I want this? If it’s the latter, don’t buy it! Besides, charity shops always have hidden gems!
#4 Reduce plastic
Try not to buy too much plastic. It can be hard, but it is possible to reduce. Try out re-usable coffee cups, take your food in containers, avoid bottled water and throwaway plastic. Re use carrier bags, bags for life, and refuse one use plastic. You don’t have to be perfect, but making an effort is key to change…
#5 Be kind to yourself
The most poignant quote this year is all about everyone doing it imperfectly, not a bunch of folk doing it perfectly. So be kind to yourself, try your best, and you will get there!
I hope you’ve found this quick guide to eco friendly living useful. IT’s about making small changes for a better future, so if we all chip in, things can change. We can create a better world together, if we just make some simple changes.
