2. Ditch your disposable razors
Why not switch to a safety razor? Not only are they better for the planet, but they also give a smoother shave. Plus, you’ll save money in the long run since you only need to replace the blades.
3. Use shampoo bars
No more plastic bottles!! Shampoo bars last longer, take up less space, and are usually packaged in recyclable or compostable materials. There are so many options out there for every hair type, so you’re bound to find one that works for you. And while you're at it, grab a conditioner bar too.
4. Go refillable
One of the best ways to reduce waste is by going for refillable products. From deodorants to mouthwash, to hand soap, there are plenty of brands offering refillable options. Just keep the container and top it up when you’re running low.
5. Say no to plastic packaging
This one’s a bit trickier, but worth the effort. Look for products that come in minimal or no plastic packaging. Whether it’s toilet paper wrapped in paper, cotton buds with cardboard stems, or glass bottles for skincare products, every little bit helps.
6. DIY cleaning products
Grocery store bathroom cleaners usually come in plastic bottles and can contain some pretty harsh chemicals. Why not make your own? Simple ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils can do wonders for cleaning, without the environmental impact.
it is in the little changes that often do make the most significant impact.
