Here are some quick tips on how you can save the planet while also being frugal:
• Always bring water with you instead of buying plastic water bottles.
• Bring reusable shopping bags from home when you go shopping.
• Dry your clothes on a drying rack instead of electric dryers.
• Buy essentials in bulk and store them in reusable containers. Buying in bulk cuts down on packaging and driving to the store.
• Use paper matches instead of lighters, 1.5 billion plastic lighters end up in landfills annually.
• Use cast iron pans for cooking, not only durable, but they’re also free from harmful chemicals.
• Opt for paperless statements and bills, these days most companies will deliver them electronically.
• Keep the air in your house clean by keeping indoor plants that serve as nature’s air purifiers such as Aloe Vera and Bamboo Palm.
• Use coconut oil for cooking, makeup removal, shaving, and moisturizing.
• Borrow books from your local library instead of buying them.
• Use power strips for all your chargers and appliances and turn them off when you’re not using them.
