Eight FREE (almost) Zero Waste Swaps

I say almost because nothing in life is truly free.... and for several of these things it does require you to have bought something in the past, althought there is a high probability that you own these items!

1. BUY LESS - I think this is pretty self-explanatory, but it is day one in the zero waste challenge and my top tip for anyone starting out on a low-waste / sustainable lifestyle.

2. WATER: Did you know tap water is actually more regulated than bottled water?

3. CLOTHING SWAP: Instead of rushing out to buy something new, host a clothing swap with your friends.

4. JARS: Many of the items we buy come in glass jars. Instead of going out and buying new glass jars, upcycle the jars you already have.

6. DITCH IT: Do you truly need everything you buy? After I went zero waste I just stopped buying plastic wrap and aluminum foil and haven't looked back. I also stopped lining my cupcake pans....

Full disclosure. My husband put a set of silicone cupcake liners for in my stocking for Christmas, but I use them to make homemade peanut butter cups and use them for the freezer! :D

7. PAPER PRODUCTS: Ditching paper products was one of the best money saving decisions I've made! I find that most people have a set of rags or kitchen towels. Instead of buying paper towels, use those!
Of course, if you'd like to save a lot of money consider switching to handkerchiefs instead of tissues and getting a bidet attachment for your toilet!

8. MAKE AT HOME: Instead getting a bunch of taakeout, make your food at home. Pack a lunch, make breakfast, brew your own coffee and tea. I find that cooking at home automatically eliminates a lot of waste.

BONUS: use the correct amount of product!

Ever since going zero waste, I have become a jar hoarder and I'm proud of it.

"Fred" says my daughter. I think Alfie suits an aloe.

Just call it Al if it's a boy or Vera if it's a girl.

Hank is a good name for the aloe vera plant 👍

Great info vid. “Maria” for the aloe.😁

I do it regularly what you said as a bonus. I diluted the dish liquid soap so a bottle of the regular (concentrate to me) dish liquid soap will last longer and I use less water to rinse off the suds. Win win for us!
I love Aloe Vera plant but have never named them. Lol! How about Mary Poppins? :)

I think there is more than on Aloe plant in that pot.
