A lot of people feel like going green has to cost a fortune, but the truth is you can save a bundle with a few earth-friendly changes. Here are a few green tips that can help out your budget.
- Cloth diapers- Ok, who saw this one coming? Cloth diapers are better on the environment AND can save you about $2000 per baby!
- Skip the bottled water- Using a reusable bottle (such as the Kleen Kanteen) and a water filter can save you a lot and will keep all those plastic bottles out of our landfills.
- No more plastic sandwich baggies!- Opt for a reusable sandwich bag instead! No more purchasing sandwich or snack baggies! Just use and rewash! Plus they will make your lunch a little more stylish.
- Mama cloth- Ditch the disposable pads and pantyliners for something more comfortable and eco-friendly. Try Glad Rags and I promise you will never want to go back to the disposables again!
- Limit your paper supplies. Instead of using paper towels, use a hand towel that can be rewashed. Instead of using paper plates and plastic utensils, opt a cheap set of washable dishes and utensils that can be used for these purposes.
As you can see, it can be super easy (and fun!) to go green and save a little money too!
