Here is today's affirmation from 365 Daily Affirmations I Can Do it Calendar (Louise Hay) and it is one that I feel very strongly about. If we keep smothering and poisoning Mother Earth with plastic and other waste, chemical cleaners and other products then Mother Earth will not be able to support us.
It doesn't need to be expensive or difficult to make some changes in our shopping habits. For example, buying a cleaning/washing up brush made with coconut bristles that can decompose lasts far far longer than the throw away plastic sponges which need to go in household waste after a few days of hard use.
If you're not sure where to start, see if there is a local zero waste food shop that you can go in to get some advice and browse their products. In Fleet we are lucky enough to have a fabulous shop called Scoop (I don't receive anything for highlighting this great shop). They have a wealth of knowledge and you can take in your own containers to refill them with so many products from washing liquid to rice to herbs and spices to olive oil....... cutting down on single use plastic waste as well as the more natural producsts without all the nasty chemicals.
Making small changes can make a difference.
