Green Shopping

There are many different aspects of increasing the sustainability in your everyday shopping habits. We'll cover several different ways for you to make small modifications in your everyday shopping habits.


Think about packaging

Purchase items with less packaging, especially plastics. We have covered how to make your own soap, but you can also make lotion, shampoo, and conditioner bars (in order to avoid the bottles). If you don't have time or aren't interested in making your own products, you can check out my Etsy store.


Shop small

Many small businesses use more sustainable processes and are more focused on helping the environment, rather than causing pollution and using items which are not sustainably sourced.


Consider the source

This is also something you can do for yourself. Pay attention to the practices of a company.


Shop local

Supporting local artisans and farmers keeps money in your community. It also decreases the carbon footprint of the items that you buy because they are not being shipped over long distances.


BYOB

Bring your own bags when you are out shopping. This will eliminate the need for you to bring home plastic bags. You can either buy these or make your own.
