my New Year’s resolution was to start living more sustainably & i love sharing the new things i learn, so i’m starting a thread to post about all my lil sustainable life changes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Slightly smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Slightly smiling face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♻️" title="Universal recycling symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Universal recycling symbol">

my first new FAV thing to share are shampoo bars https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes"> i’m still trying to find the best one for me, but Love, Beauty & Planet is my fav so far! 2-in-1 didn’t work for me, but it’d be great for people with short hair https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Relieved face"> no more excessive, thick-plastic shampoo bottles https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙅🏼‍♀️" title="Woman gesturing not ok (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman gesturing not ok (medium light skin tone)">

i’ve also ditched my wasteful plastic k-cups for some reusable ones https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face" aria-label="Emoji: Hugging face"> & im hoping to paint the outside of my coffee grounds jar so it looks a lil less trashy, but that’s a project for a different day https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

something else super cool & unexpectedly affordable is sustainable toilet paper! some eco-friendly brands cost an arm & a leg, but many generic brands (like GV pictured) have started making their own recycled or bamboo toilet papers at normal prices https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌞" title="Sun with face" aria-label="Emoji: Sun with face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧻" title="Roll of paper" aria-label="Emoji: Roll of paper">

another amazing switch i’ve made are these reusable make-up removing pads https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face" aria-label="Emoji: Hugging face"> just add water & make-up literally slips off, & they’re machine-washable! no more dumping hundreds of make up wipes in the trash every year

this one feels obvious, yet billions of plastic water bottles are still sold & thrown away every year! GET A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE OR TUMBLER!!!! i love my Yeti, & i got this lid with a straw for $10 on amazon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Star-struck" aria-label="Emoji: Star-struck">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💧" title="Droplet" aria-label="Emoji: Droplet"> ft my beautiful @kannchy sticker https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌻" title="Sunflower" aria-label="Emoji: Sunflower">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes">
