Eco-Friendly Products for Your Home

Eco-Friendly Products for Your Home

Going green and being healthy are seeming to become a new trend. However, you do not have to reconstruct every part of your daily life altogether. You can start to make a difference in your life and others by changing some of the products you use every day.

Reusable Water Bottles and Water Filters

Everyone drinks water, (at least everybody should!) but many people still go to their sink for drinking water. In doing so, they are exposing themselves to many potential chemicals and contaminants. Which include but not limited to, chlorine, copper, and odor. These can be easily avoided by using a water filter either for your refrigerator  or even using a filter for your water bottle. When we use filtered sources of water and reusewater bottles, we can help the environment and our pocket! In support of cleanwater sources, check out water.org and donate for cleaner water around the world.

Cleaning Dishes

I'm sure all of you enjoy the splendid task of washing dishes...and sarcasm! When cleaning the lovely dirty dishes that stack up in our sink, most of us would use a dish soap to clean them. Some of the name brand soaps that we use day to day contain a variety of chemicals and non-biodegradable cleaners. 

Alternatively, we can use products that are biodegradable and multi-purpose like Mrs. Meyers. Their soap comes in concentrate and diluted so you can choose how strong the smell and strength of your 'eco-minded' soap.

Tending to The Garden

Ah, the beautiful flowers and vegetables that we grow and eat are often treated with harmful pesticides. These chemicals do their job, but it does come at a cost to our health and the health of other animals and insects. The consistent use of these pesticides is one of the main reasons why you do not see as many bees anymore, and it's causing a reduction in the bee population. 

At what point do we consider the risk involved when producing these plants with too many chemicals. Thankfully, there are alternatives to them, for example, you can use a mix of vegetable oil and dish soap and even a garlic mix that will deter bugs from your wonderful garden.

Applying Eco-Friendliness to Every Part of Your Life

When you make the 'eco-conscious' switch, you can appreciate the fact that you are making a difference. No matter how small the scale or if it only affects one other being. It's still a noble and respectable attribute that everyone can learn and implement into their lives.
