If you’re looking to dive deeper into the green lifestyle without getting overwhelmed, this is the place to start! These simple, plastic-free swaps reduce your footprint and add a touch of sustainability to your daily routine and home life. Take a look.

1. Swap out those disposable dryer sheets for wool dryer balls. They’re not just eco-friendly, speeding up drying time and cutting down on static, but they’re also compostable. Talk about a laundry game-changer.

2. Ditch the chemical-heavy cleaners for something zestier. Orange peel vinegar cleaner is your new go-to for a sparkling home. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to give those citrus peels a second life.

3. Say goodbye to plastic juice bottles with a sturdy glass juice jar that will last you years. Perfect for your homemade concoctions, from nut milk to fresh juice. (Bonus if paired with a quality juicer, it’s the investment that promises fresh juice and less waste.)

4. Upgrade your shopping experience with a bamboo cutting board. Not only does it steer clear of pesky microplastics, but it’s also a champ in durability if you treat it right.

5. Speaking of wood over plastic, wooden cooking utensils are the way to go, blending compostability with durability. It’s time to retire those plastic spatulas and spoons for something more sustainable.

Embracing these swaps is a simple yet effective step toward a plastic-free household. Bonus points if you can thrift any of these items! Just remember, it’s all about progress, not perfection!
