Practical Tips to Embrace Sustainable Lifestyle Items at Home
Ready to swap in these must-haves? Try these simple steps:
-
Audit your space.
Scan your kitchen, living room, bedroom for one plastic item. Mark “replace” on your list. -
One swap at a time.
Start with what you use daily—maybe your cutting board or shopping bag. -
Set a budget.
Sustainable materials can cost more upfront. But they last longer. You’ll save over time. -
Mix and match.
Blend natural textures—bamboo dishware with a jute tote checkerboard pattern. It creates depth and warmth. -
Invite friends.
Host a swap party. Trade old plastics for bamboo or cork pieces from peers. Great way to share tips and spread the word.
