Earth Day may be over, but it is never too late to heart your planet! You can heart your planet by making environmentally friendly changes in your home. There are various ways to #HeartYourPlanet! This includes recycling, using less water, reusing items to save money, time, and energy; reducing waste, and giving away items that we no longer want or need.
How to #HeartYourPlanet
Eco-Friendly Scouring Pads
Unlike the steel scouring pads, eco-friendly scouring pads are safe for your hands, will not splinter or disintegrate, and biodegradable when composted.
Clean with Old T-Shirts and Cloths
I often use old t-shirts or cloths instead of a paper towel for cleaning. Not only using an old t-shirt or rag is budget-friendly, but they’re apt to get the job well done, whereas paper towels will only do so much. Also, you can’t rinse paper towels out and reuse them.
Clean with Castile Soap
Castile soap, such as Dr. Bronners, can be used for many different purposes. It can be used as a body wash, shampoo alternative, shaving, brushing your teeth, laundering, controlling dust mites, killing ants and aphids, aromatherapy, rinsing fruit, facial cleanser, baby wash, all-purpose household cleaner, homemade solution for baby wipes, and hand soap. It does everything but takes out the trash!
Purify the Air with Plants
Plants are nature’s natural air purifiers. They are inexpensive and work much better than air purifying machines. Air purifying machines are not only costly, but they also use up energy, and I’m speaking from experience.
Install a Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats offer climate control, the convenience of customizing your home’s temperature for when you’re away from home, and reduces energy use.
Heart Your Planet with Kimberly-Clark and Amazon
Between now and May 31st, 2020, Kimberly-Clark will be providing $4 million to support World Wildlife Fund’s efforts to protect forests and other critical ecosystems. For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature.
