My focus lately has been on the way I’m consuming: the types of products, where I’m buying them, and how much I’m using. As a society, we’ve become so wasteful! I’ve been swapping out single-use products for reusable ones where possible, like washable cotton make-up wipes, beeswax wraps, tea strainers and safety razors. I also recently discovered programs like Returnr and Trashless Takeaway that let you borrow or BYO reusable container to a restaurant for takeaway food – no more crappy single-use plastic needed. Stores like The Source are great for reducing waste, as well, because you can buy dry goods in bulk with your own container, or bring in empty bottles to top up cooking oils, dish detergents and washing powder.
