You want to help Mother Earth to feel her best, but at the
same time, you don’t want to put a major wrench in your daily lifestyle. Instead,
you want to make green lifestyle changes that you feel you can actually
maintain long term.
Fortunately, we’ve got some viable solutions for you. Here
are a few easy yet unusual changes you can make that can have a drastically
positive impact on the environment. Yes, they may cause you to raise your
eyebrows at first. But in no time, you’ll wonder how you every got along
without them.
1) Washing Machine That Is Portable
For between $49 and $55, you can easily replace your traditional washing machine with its portable counterpart. It’s an affordable way to help the environment, as this type of washing machine uses less electricity and water than your regular one does. In fact, the hand-powered brand known as WonderWash reportedly uses no electricity and also uses 90% less water compared with standard washing machines. The portable machine can easily hold two jean pairs and 10 tee-shirts at a time. And they’re perfect for cleaning your delicate items.
2) Toilet Paper That Has Been Recycled
No, we’re not joking. But yes, there is such a thing as recycled TP – a product that can help you to reduce your carbon footprint and not sacrifice cleanliness in the process. TP that has been fabricated from recycled materials (talk about a unique green job!) runs about $27 to $48 for between 32 and 48 rolls. If more people used this type of TP versus the pulp used in regular tissue paper, we could reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by a whopping 33%.
3) Beeswax Food Wraps You Can Reuse
These wraps, which cost between $11 and $25, are perfect for
keeping your foods fresh without having to use plastic. Yes, beeswax may not be
as inexpensive upfront as plastic wrap is, but since beeswax wraps can be used
for a year if you use them several times a week, they’re more than worth the
investment.
