It’s Earth Month! There’s no better time than now to reflect on ways we can reduce our carbon footprint and cut down on waste. We can all take small steps to be more environmentally conscious. A great step in the right direction is to replace some of those disposable items we frequently use, with reusable alternatives! Not only do reusable products assist in cutting down on waste, but they also help you save money in the long run by not having to constantly repurchase certain products. 

With these reusable products, you can easily cut down on waste!

Reusable Straws

Reusable Straws

Plastic straws are pretty much out the window at this point, and we all know how much paper straws suck – let’s be real. So, if you haven’t already, it’s time to get some reusable straws! You can get portable ones for on the go, or some super chic glass ones for at home. They’re also super easy to clean, you just need some kind of pipe cleaner, which most sets come with anyway.
