When it comes to sustainability, one question I get more than any other is, “how do I start?”
One of the main hurdles people face in embracing environmentalism and wellness in their homes is they mistakenly feel it’s an all-or-nothing exercise… but that simply isn’t true! Each small shift, each habit changed, each item replaced is a small step in the right direction, and these small steps add up quickly.
The more we each embrace small steps, the more motivated we’ll be to find new, inventive ways to lead more sustainable, healthy lives!
To help, I put together a Laurence Carr-approved curation of some of my favorite sustainable swaps for common household items. It’s a fantastic resource to get yourself started, and as we head into the holiday season, consider batching up a basket of these tools as a wonderful gift!
Gifts like these may seem more practical than powerful, and more sensible than sexy, but remember this: Many gifts sit to the wayside after being received, but these are items that your recipients will actually use! And each time they reach for it, they’ll be reminded of your thoughtfulness, and be infused with the goodness of knowing they’re helping the Earth, and themselves.
