Reduce Waste With These Eco-Friendly Products
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been wary of harsh chemicals, and have opted for cleaner, safer products. Since becoming a mom, I’ve thought a lot more about what I want around my girls, and how I want to care for our planet. Last year, I made the switch to eco-friendly toilet paper and refillable cleaning supplies, saving dozens of plastic bottles each year. I keep reusable wipes on hand since they’re a much better option than paper towels, and have reusable paper towels for messy spills. This year, I’m saying farewell to plastic bags, and even tampons. Here are my favorite eco-friendly product swaps for 2021.
