Small changes for 2022- Environmental friendly swaps
Diving into the new tear, we could welcome new choices when it comes to clean living and enjoy better health along with care for our environment. Small swaps are very popular and no wonders, since they don’t require a lot of time and very often bring better solutions to our lives.
The first of them is probably most commercialized and it includes bringing our textile bags when buying groceries. This easily becomes a habit and it turns out that textile bags are more flexible, more resistant so they can keep up with the weight of veggies and fruits but among other reasons, there is also a visible one-it is more fashionable. Just a pop of color or statement can persuade more young people to adopt this great habit of bringing their bags instead of buying plastic.
Swaps for plastics are the next popular subject here-there are bento (lunch) boxes, personalized water bottles of coffee mugs for take-away and nowadays more and more coffee shops are happy to use our coffee mugs instead of plastic (onetime) cups.
When it comes to hygiene, firm soaps, shampoos, regenerators, and even body-butter were proved to be equally effective if not even better as a swap for those packed in plastic bottles. Prices are now a bit higher but these products last way longer so they are more economic at the same time.
We should all know our style by the time we are in our twenties and from that moment most people will invest in their clothes a bit more so that they can last longer. Better quality brings better style and after all, it is more economic and environmentally friendly.
Food can last longer if kept separated in containers in the fridge but the best option is to always cook fresh and enough for one meal. This way we can maintain the best quality of products and finally our diet choices. Veggies stored in jars, washed, and prepacked before being placed in to fridge attract our attention every time we open the fridge and we are more likely to reach for one of them instead of poor food choices. In addition, no plastic garbage after eating fast food choices and better health, which is more important.
To wrap all this up-it seems that favourite environmental-friendly swaps are better for our health and at the same time more economical! So why not start this new year with implementing some of these swaps if not all, to our lives?:)
