Earth Day is this Sunday, April 22nd. Are you looking for a way to green your routine? Personally, I have found that making changes to my habits are the most effective. By swapping out products that I use consistently for more eco-friendly, I can make a long term difference. For instance, I try to donate gently used clothing and household items, rather than send them off to the landfill. I also have been making an effort to replace household cleaning products with greener, chemical-free versions like Seventh Generation detergents, pods and cleaning products. I carry my own shopping bags and turn down plastic. I reuse and recycle the plastic bags that have accumulated around the house.
Overall, I am trying to cut down the waste in the Benjamin household. Thanks to my green routine and a free sample from Smiley360 I even gave applicator-free tampons from ob a try! I'm not sure that I would have gone so extreme in my green efforts had it not been for ob, Smiley360 and my free sample, but ultimately, what a great addition. If cardboard and plastic applicators aren't for you, try out applicator-free this Earth Day and reduce your carbon footprint.
