What's a zero-waste swap?
Zero-waste swaps are single-use plastic-free alternatives to traditionally disposable products... think reusables and refillables!
Where do I start my switch to a more zero-waste lifestyle?
-
See where you create the most waste in your life- is it in your home, at the grocery store, at restaurants? Start there!
-
Evaluate what swaps feel like they would actually work for you! You do not have to change everything at once- use up what you have first!
- Make the switch that seems most reasonable for you and your lifestyle. Single-use plastic-free alternatives are both an investment for you and for the planet!
