Some Simple Steps That Make A Big Difference! (For Planet and Budget)






Here's some tips I use in my everyday life to make an impact on our planet. They'll also make an impact on your budget! Funny how that works...

1. Avoid plastic - use reusable food containers, water bottles, bags and cutlery. Buy things with little or no packaging.
2. Warm up by adding layers... not blasting the heat!
3. Hang-dry your clothes
4. Buy second-hand. This is recycling at it's best! You'd be surprised what you can find - check out my Home Decor label and see the things I've scored.
5. Make whatever you can yourself. I use home-made deodorant, shampoo and conditioner. I cook and make the majority of our food and edibles myself. Check out my DIY label!
6. Buy local and in-season foods
7. Drive less - walk and bus more
8. Turn off the lights
9. Recycle and Compost everything you can!

And last, but very, very far from the least...


10. BE A VEGETARIAN!
