Let’s face it, the planet is being besieged by pollution and an insurmountable amount if trash, particularly plastic products, especially now during the pandemic single use plastic usage has skyrocketed. I often participate in beach cleanups here in Venice and am shocked how much trash I can collect in an hour. Most of us do our part by recycling and bringing our own bags for shopping but here are 4 things I do to reduce my carbon footprint. If we all do a little we can improve the planet.
Buy a concentrated cleaning product: I love this one by Power Plus, it’s eco friendly safe for plants and animals made from citrus oils. I just put a small amount in a spray bottle and add water and can use it on any surface. 1 bottle of concentrate lasts almost a year eliminating the purchase of many other plastic bottles
I have pump dispensers in my showers that I fill with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel and buy super large size products so I can just keep refilling, eliminating the need for constant smaller bottles.
Carry a portable steel straw with carrying case and cleaning brush, eliminating the use of plastic straws.
Carry a portable utensil kit in a roll up case eliminating the need of single use plastic utensils.
