Are you struggling to find eco-friendly inspiration in your day to day life? Look no further. We have four tips life hacks that are easy to achieve but make a massive difference to the environment. Check out all our easy eco-friendly hacks that you can incorporate every single day!
Say goodbye to paper cups
Single-use hot drink cups are one of the most unsustainable forms of plastic consumption on the planet. Half a trillion disposable cups are manufactured annually around the world; that’s over 70 disposable cups for every person on the planet. By swapping this for a more sustainable option, you can drink out of your favourite cup everyday and save the planet at the same time.
The future is paperless
With all the technology that surrounds us, it’s necessary to take advantage of it. Use apps for travelling where possible and send emails instead of sending letters. Where bills are concerned, request from your bank to receive all bills via email or text notification too!
Turn off your Taps
Turn off any taps when you’re not using them! It seems like the most simple rule but it can be very easy to leave them on whilst brushing your teeth or washing your hands. This way you can conserve water and save money too!
Rechargeable Batteries
Believe it or not, 15 billion batteries were produced in 2015. After being used, many are simply thown away. By investing in sets of rechargeable batteries you can utilise a sustainable and more eco-friendly power source that will last much longer than single use!
Reusable Bag Swap
From your grocery shopping to your Christmas present run. Reusable, environmentally friednly bags are usually considerably bigger than standard plastic bags and they are far less likely to rip or tear. A top tip is to keep one or two in your car or at the bottom of your handbag for those impromptu purchases that warrant a bag!
Refillable beauty products
Brands like Lush + L’Occitane are famed for their eco friendly refill programmes which not only give you a great excuse to treat yourself but they also help the environment in the process. Plus refill options are cheaper – so you’re not out of pocket either!
