i. Using unpaper towels as a replacement for regular newspaper towels.

I've talked virtually my switch from regular paper towels here many times. But I will never stop considering it's honestly not every bit hard as you may think. And overtime, information technology's really a helpful change for the environment.

My DIY unpaper towels are a neat way to use up bit fabric to help make this change every bit easy as possible. At that place's a sewn version (my fave) and a no-sew version also for anyone without a sewing machine.

ii. Using bootleg natural cleaning products when possible.

I shared 3 ideas for natural cleaning products a while back, that includes an all-purpose cleaner, a drinking glass cleaner, and a natural room spray.

I'm willing to bet you take the materials in your home already to make at least two of the three cleaners in that post. And they piece of work actually well too! Have y'all tried homemade natural cleaners before?
