So I love being environmeny friendly. I bring my own bags to stores. I recycle and compost my food scraps. It’s pretty overwhelming, also expensive, to start this journey so I compiled this list of things I’ve used or knew someone who has! Now all of these things come from my personal journey! Another thing is that I don’t have one or two of these items but I have something extremely similar. Thrifting is key! Jars and tupperware are so easy to thrift. Kitchen items are probably the easiest to thrift. I also used other products i owned till they ran out before I purchased these alternatives. I hope this list helps you in your eco journey or gives you great gift ideas!
