SMALL WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE

I have learned so much from my friend Kaitlyn (@almostzerowastelifestyle) about ways you can reduce waste daily. I have started to implement a few new things into my routine to help reduce waste so I thought I would share so you can do the same!

+ Water Bottles

I invested in a Hydro Flask & YETI which is 100% not necessary but has worked for me & my routine. I typically use my YETI throughout the day & my Hydro Flask at the gym. Amazon has great options for reusable water bottles so you do not need to splurge on the expensive name brand ones, shop cheaper options here.

+ Straws

I am all about saving the turtles & you should be too! First of all, reusable straws IMO are so much cuter & more convenient! I use a straw every morning in my coffee & all day long in my YETI. They are pretty much available everywhere now & super affordable. I purchased glass straws from amazon & silicone ones from the target dollar spot! Here is an affordable option for reusable straws.

+ Cotton Rounds

I use cotton rounds every day both morning & night. Sometimes I use 3 at a time which is a lot of waste. I am obsessed with my reusable cotton rounds. They are so convenient & easy to wash! If you want to purchase your own reusable cotton rounds send Kait a message she has the cutest colors & patterns!

+ Sandwich Baggies

I honestly cringe at the thought of how many plastic bags I was going through. Reusable baggies are very affordable & easy to clean. I purchased mine on Amazon you can shop them here.

+ Coffee Cups

This one is new to me & goes along with the yeti/hydroflask but I recently discovered you can bring your own coffee cup to Starbucks & you not only help save the environment but ALSO save money. If you bring in your own cup you get a discount. I don't know what rock I have been under but I am so excited about this! Amazon has great options for reusable coffee cups but this one is my favorite.

If you want to learn more about how you can also reduce waste check out Kaitlyn's blog & instagram (linked below) she knows SO much about living an almost zero waste lifestyle & has so many tips & tricks that you can also implement into your routine! Kait has inspired me to make these small changes & I am I so excited to learn more about reducing waste!
