Grocery shopping is a venture that can use up a lot of plastic if you aren’t careful. This non-biodegradable substance, which is often overused in food packaging, can end up piling up in landfills and on the Earth’s surface, polluting and contaminating the habitat in which we live. If you’re looking to be a conscious shopper and reduce your consumption of plastic while grocery shopping, take a look at these tips.

Buy Reusable Grocery Bags

Using plastic grocery bags is a huge source of consumption of this product, and a great way to cut down on this is to use reusable bags. These durable, affordable bags will completely cut out plastic use for carrying the food you buy at the store.

Use Your Own Produce Bags

Unfortunately, a lot of plastic is also used for packaging the loose fruits and vegetables that we buy at the store. Companies now, however, sell reusable produce bags that can be washed and reused time and time again!

Avoid Bottled Water

Another totally unnecessary use of plastic is in the bottling of water that is sold at the supermarket. Instead of buying huge packs of plastic-filled bottled water, why not buy your own washable and reusable water bottle?

Are you thinking of starting a compost pile at your home? If you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to turn kitchen waste into rich soil with a number of uses, this is a great way to contribute to emptying landfills. Composting can be done with all kinds of organic material, but we sometimes forget that certain materials can actually be composted. Here are three that you might have never realized that were compostable.

Eggshells

Although they might seem like a hard waste that has to go in the trash can and to the landfill, eggshells can totally be composted. Just be sure to break them into small pieces so that they can easily break down instead of adding full shells.

Wine Corks

Wine corks are made from completely organic materials as long as they aren’t made with synthetic materials – so make sure it’s synthetic before you add it to the compost. This means that you can toss them into your compost pile after finishing your next bottle of wine!

Tea Bags

Most tea bags are made out of natural fibers and other organic materials, meaning that they can easily be composted along with the tea leaves that are contained within them.

If you have been keeping up with the latest Gen Z trends over the past year or so, you might be very familiar with the latest trend in environmentally-conscious hydration. Hydro Flasks have become hugely popular within this young adult subgroup.

While some Gen Z trends might seem a bit dubious, there’s no doubt that this trend is positive in so many ways.

Hydro Flasks are big on social media because of the endless customization and stickers that can be facilitated by them, but what’s the real reason that they are so popular?

Well, these stainless steel bottles are vacuum insulated and have the ability to keep hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours, and cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours. They are most commonly used for drinking ice cold water.

Hydro Flasks are great because they do a great job of promoting eco-friendly and environmentally conscious consumption of beverages. Instead of using wasteful plastic bottles to consume their water, users of this reusable bottle don’t contribute to the destruction of the environment due to their love of water and other beverages.

So, check out this colorful and customizable trend and get on the eco-friendly train as fast as you can!

Stroodles is a British company that came up with a simple yet genius way to replace plastic and paper straws. We already know that plastic straws are not the most eco-friendly solution for sipping drinks, but paper straws often get soggy before we get to finish our drink. The solution? Straws made of pasta!

Stroodles created biodegradable straws by mixing wheat and water. Their straws are edible, vegan, and don’t affect the flavor of drinks. Stroodles will help fight unnecessary plastic waste with an easy-to-use product. “We want to inspire the world and show how easy it is to do good – with just one Stroodle at a time. With Stroodles, you don’t have to change behaviors and compromise on your drinking experience,” the company says.

In case you’re wondering what happens with the stroodles that don’t come out perfectly shaped, the company has an answer. They pack them separately and donate them to food banks.

The simplest ideas are indeed often the best ones!

Living an eco-friendly lifestyle usually doesn’t get talked about when someone is making cocktails. But, even then, it’s easy to become wasteful so don’t fall into that trap! Use all of what you have to the fullest and you’ll help save the Earth without sacrificing your drink. Use these tips and tricks for your next cocktail party and prepare to be amazed.

Avocado Pit Orgeat

Avocado’s don’t usually find their way into cocktails, but that’s now all in the past. Orgeat is an essential ingredient to drinks like a Trinidad sour or royal pearl. This almond-flavored syrup can actually be made easily with an avocado pit. Since an avocado pit has a high water content, you can grind them in a food processor or strong blender. Toast the shreds for a few minutes on the stove to bring out the nuttiness, combine with water and sugar and you’re done!

Citrus Infused Vodka

There’s no better way to reinforce a flavor in a cocktail than by starting with a naturally flavored liquor. For an easy infused drink, use whatever citrus husks you have on hand, blanch them and add them to a jar of vodka. After a few weeks in a dark place, you’ll have the perfect screwball or whatever else you fancy.
