Third week into the new year, and mornings are getting... slightly easier?

How’s everyone else doing? Starting to settle into the comfort of routine, or still staying up much too late, scrolling mindlessly and/or watching “one more episode” just to get in that extra “me time”? Maybe a bit of both?

We’ve got a new week of Easy Zero-Waste Switches to share.

Here we are, heading into the second week of the new year!

How's everyone feeling?

There are so many things going on around us right now that we can't control. At times like this, we find it can be really helpful to focus on the things we can.

Hopefully this week's Easy Zero-Waste Switches help turn our focus towards small, manageable things we can do that bring about feelings of accomplishment and joy. 😊

Usually we start the year with a hard-core zero-waste challenge to get the year going. But this year feels different. We're all a bit worn down from all that was 2020 (wow, what a year!), and feel a nurturing approach to our wonderful intentions is the way to go.

So for the month of January, we're going to offer a weekly list of what we have discovered are some easy switches towards zero-waste. You can save this list for later, try one, or try them all! Here is our first week's list:

“Just over a year ago, my family was doing well with our plastic waste. We didn’t use plastic baggies or cling wrap, and we only bought water in bottles when we were traveling. We recycled everything that the blue bins would take, along with all the refundable cans/bottles. As far as keeping the earth clear of plastic, we were doing pretty. darn. good.”

A recap of one family’s experience trying to go plastic-free for one month.
