5 SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR KITCHEN MORE SUSTAINABLE
Being sustainable is about the choices we make. When it comes to making decisions that are more environmentally conscious, it can feel a little overwhelming. Figuring out where to start can seem a bit overwhelming. Often it is simply a matter of starting somewhere. A good place could be your kitchen, for example. Becoming more sustainable doesn't mean you have to embark on a major lifestyle change. You will quickly find out that even small changes can make a difference.
In this blog post, you will get 5 simple simple ways in which you can make your kitchen more sustainable.
- Get yourself a compost bin
There are a number of compost solutions available today to suit your home and lifestyle. Starting your own compost is a great way to reduce the amount of food waste that ends up in landfill while keeping your garden soil happy and healthy. Plus, it's a great way to teach your kids about waste and how to be responsible for your impact on the environment.
- Change your dishcloths and kitchen sponges
When it comes to kitchen equipment that is bad for the environment, tea towels and kitchen sponges are usually not the first thing that comes to mind. However, due to synthetic fibers, both your dishcloth and scouring pad can actually end up contributing to waste that is harmful to the environment. The best thing to do is to swap your mushrooms for sustainable alternatives. Fortunately, many of these alternatives exist today.
- Use natural cleaning agents
By replacing your regular cleaning products with natural alternatives, you reduce the level of harsh chemicals in your home, and it also helps keep them off the ground. An easy and cheap solution is to make your own DIY cleaning products at home. Products such as, white vinegar, salt, baking powder, lemons, are actually all you need to create a multitude of different eco-friendly cleaning products for your kitchen.
- Trade in by season
Shopping seasonally and buying locally grown produce is another important way you can be more sustainable. Products that are not in season must either be imported from abroad, which unfortunately emit large amounts of CO2, or grown in greenhouses, which use a lot of energy to achieve the right climate. The best thing about buying seasonal fruit and vegetables is that produce is usually fresher and much cheaper. Buying larger lots is also a smart way to limit packaging. Store items in airtight containers to ensure they last longer. This will also prevent any food waste.
- Make green choices
Achieving an eco-friendly kitchen is all about the choices you make. But this does not mean that you have to make inconvenient choices in your everyday life. Rather, it is about changing your habits a little and finding a sustainable alternative.
