Easy Low Waste Lifestyle Changes
An easy way to start a lower-waste lifestyle is to incorporate lower-waste products into your everyday routines. Small changes in the way we consume products add up to a big personal impact.
Look for items with less plastic packaging for necessities like dish soap, air fresheners, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner.

Soapnut Powder
There are several ways to use soapnut powder. A very small amount will soak up the oils in hair similar to a dry shampoo without the chemicals.

Conditioner Bar
This is a good start when it comes to the world of hair conditioner bars.

Shampoo Bar
The only item with more bar options than conditioner bars is shampoo bars.

Bamboo Cotton Swabs
There is nothing like the feeling of soft cotton in your earhole.

Tooth Tablets
No more toothpaste containers. Tooth tablets are the new way to scrub those toofies.

Silicone Ear Swabs
These are also useful.

Adapt What You Have Already
You don’t have to dump your Keurig to live more sustainably. There are tons of options for reusable kcup filters.
Same with pour-over coffee. There are several options at any price point. My first was this simple one that requires a paper filter.
