Hello everyone!

Being pro-environment is not a new phenomenon. But sometimes we just aren’t as proactive as we want to be.

The whole environmental paridime goes: “Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.” People are quick to use the right colored bin for recycling or reusing grocery bags, but actually changing the way we use products seems a bit too inconvenient.

So I challenge you (with this video using myself as a perfect bad-girl example) to look at your  waste consumption and see how you can make improvements.

I hope this inspires you to look into your own life and see where you can make changes. To get you off to a good start, I’ve brainstormed some other sustainable solutions. Here are my picks for great ways to improve your responsible consumption:

Reusable Produce Bags: If you’re like me, loading up on fresh produce at the grocery store pangs you with a bit of guilt for all those plastic bags used to transport from the store shelf to your refrigerator. These reusable produce bags are a great way to forgo that extra plastic. But they’re still see through so you know what your buying. I find they also double as sprout bags!

Recycling Bags for the kitchen or a picnic: I think these are adorable. You can use them instead of a recycling bin and they’re easy to bring outside before garbage night. Reusable, easy to clean, and a good size. With two, you can distinguish between paper/plastic or however your state organizes recyclables.

Solar Powered String Lights: String lights for outdoor summer parties are a party-starter. But sometimes finding an outlet is a pain. And electricity costs over the summer are an even bigger pain. Solar power lights cut down energy consumption and are extremely festive. We use them all summer for pool parties.
