Motivation Monday: Planet Friendly Replacements

Hi everyone! Today's blog post is going to give options or suggestions on small changes you can make starting right away to help out planet be a healthier and less waste-filled place!

The world is beautiful and I would hope everyone wants to keep it that way! :)

1. Replace Your Plastics 

By this, I mean in all different areas. For example, instead of buying plastic water bottles, you can invest in a water filter and use glasses or reusable tumblers and refill throughout the day. 

Another example would be your Tupperware. Most people that I've met and have come to know use plastic Tupperware containers.. I used to as well; however, I made the switch a few years ago to glass containers and will never go back! It's also much healthier to utilize glass containers to prevent chemicals from leaking into your food! 

2. Use Reusable Bags 

This is something I've seen so many people whine about; however, it's such a simple replacement / fix. I live in New York and they have since made it illegal for stores to provide plastic bags at check out and charge for paper bags. Save yourself the hassle and money and simply bring a reusable bag! They are much more sturdy also! 

3. Unplug Your Unused Devices 

This is easy, but many people forget to do this or are more worried about the seconds these steps take. For example, if you are leaving charges or appliances plugged in around the clock, even if you aren't utilizing them, they are still using power/energy. Take the few seconds to just unplug devices, charges, and appliances when they're not in use!
