Celebrate Earth Day & Adjust Your Lifestyle with Eco-Friendly Products

The approach of Earth day on April 22nd offers a great opportunity to invest in the planet with environmentally friendly products and sustainable practices. Start with simple lifestyle choices like carrying a reusable water bottle vs. purchasing disposables. Eco-friendly laundry detergents and reusable dryer sheets are also available. Inexpensive repair kits can extend the life of your clothes and footwear too. A kitchen composter with biodegradable garbage bags will reduce your organic waste, while an outdoor compost bin or compost tumbler will do the same for your lawn and garden refuse. You can also improve your overall household recycling with an additional recycling bin to properly parse out waste materials. 

Look for Energy Star® appliances if repairing them isn’t an option. If you’re upgrading your bathroom consider a high-efficiency toilet and single-handle faucets to conserve water. A rain barrel can help lower your outdoor water usage. Sustainable patio furniture made of recycled plastic can further help reduce your carbon footprint. There are also plenty of green cleaning products available too. Now is a great time to switch over to eco-friendly hand soap, floor cleaner, and bathroom cleaner.
