Week 3: Earth Day
Switch to stainless steel straws.
Start switching out plastic bags to safer alternatives like Stasher Bags (get 25% off with code MAMAEARTH) or glass storage.
Drink out of reusable bottles. My favorites are S’well Bottle and My Byta. Take your reusable mug to your local coffee shop and have them use it rather than a one time use cup.
Take reusable produce bags to the grocery store rather than using and wasting those thin plastic bags.
Keep a few reusable bags (including produce bags) in your car so that you have them ready to go. I guarantee you have these around the house. I love reusing my canvas totes for this. You can shop some good ones HERE.
