Homemade oat mylk! 1 cup of oats, 3 cups of water, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla powder, a couple pinches of salt. Blend together for a couple minutes, strain and bottle! (To reduce waste, buy all ingredients in bulk without plastic bags and compost the oats when finished.)

Buy secondhand!

Here's an easy one - no more plastic bottles. (Yes, I know, the cap is plastic. )

Air dry laundry on a clothes line or non-plastic folding rack.

Use a menstrual cup instead of pads or tampons. Reduces risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome, no worries of pesticides, saves money, and can be left in for up to 12 hours. Takes practice but it’s worth it! I prefer the Lunette cup with a reusable cotton panty liner on heavy nights (bought on Etsy.)

Easy laundry detergent. Boil 8 soap nuts tied in some cotton cloth in 4 cups of water for 20 minutes. Freeze and throw one of the ice cubes into your laundry. Bonus points if you can find a non-plastic ice cube tray! Compost the nuts after boiling.

Buy tea in bulk and use a steel tea ball. Cuts back on packaging, is inexpensive, and you don’t have to worry about possible plastic in your tea bags.

I’m not a big fan of kombucha so I get my probiotics in coconut water that comes in a glass bottle. Just a sip a day!
