Easy Sustainable Swaps for Home & Household Items

I’m in no way living a complete zero waste life, and I feel that even with changes in sustainable practices at home, my husband and I still have quite a bit of waste. But with the awareness and continued education, we are working on swapping many household items over for sustainable and eco-friendly options. I would say however, that compared to a year ago we are considerably more low waste. It just kills me every time I have a purchase that comes in excessive packaging that might not be recyclable - some items or goods are just really difficult to get around not ordering online or controlling how it is packed and shipped, especially when you are trying to purchase things during this pandemic. But I’m hoping that by sharing these 7 easy household items swaps (I’ve shared some of these items in this post and this post) with you that will help you save money because they are re-usable and also make the transition to a planet-friendly lifestyle easier.
