Hey! I’d like to add in that Cotton On is an amazing brand that sells less expensive tote bags (and other low waste items) and all of their proceeds go to helping children in lower income countries get quality education!

My Favorite Zero-Waste Swaps

Metal/Steel/Glass Straws!!!- As everyone knows, straws impact the environment in a very negative way, so why not make the change? Plus, they’re fairly cheap!

Cloth Produce Bags- Why take one plastic bag just to wrap up a few veggies or fruits? Cloth Produce Bags are a one time investment, and are way more convenient than grabbing the plastic bag!

Re-Usable Grocery Bags- These are not the cheapest things in the world, but you can get a pack of three off of Amazon.com for around $30, and again, it’s a one time investment, and one that is way more convenient than making the people at check-out put everything in multiple plastic bags.

Reusable “Ziplock” Bags- Perfect for freezing fruit in the freezer, putting certain things in the fridge, taking snacks to school, and for storing your other perishable items! Another plus to these- They’re cheap as hell most of the time!

Metal or Steel Water Bottles- Pretty much everyone has these in their cabinets. There is no reason for all the plastic bottle that are being thrown away everyday, when the Reusable Water Bottles will keep your drink cold/hot for hours at a time, where as plastic will keep your drink cold for a good 1-2 hours? Cut down on all the plastic making it’s way out into the landfills!

BUYING THINGS IN BULK!!!- This has to be a favorite within the zero-waste community! When you buy things, such as almond butter, pasta sauce, or anything in a glass jar..keep the jar!! You can bring your jars to most health foods stores or most any grocery stores in general and you can buy your items in bulk! None of all that extra waste! Just what you plan on using!

Bento Boxes/ Non-Plastic Lunch Box- These are a one time investment also! There is absolutely no reason that you should be eating out of PLASTIC containers that you will eventually throw away, these are so much more easier to clean than plastic is, and it is much better for the environment.

Portable Silver Ware!- There is not a lot to say about this one. Ditch the plastic forks and spoons, instead, take these!

Hope you enjoyed my Zero-Waste Master Post :) I personally love all of these items, they have made such a difference with my life and how conscious I am of how I consume.

‼️‼️‼️ AUSTRALIA IS LITERALLY BURNING AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT 🚨🚨🚨🚨

We’re desperate for any help whether it’s spreading awareness or giving donations. Every share, every post, every donation helps. Australia has been burning since September 2019.. its January 2020 and it’s only gotten worse. These are worse than the amazon fires!! So much fire that the smoke is starting to spread to New Zealand. Why is no one spreading awareness or talking about this? All these celebrities with massive platforms keeping quiet. Do you really think this won’t impact you in the long run? So many people have evacuated their homes, so many houses destroyed by the fires. Lives have been lost. There are so many people staying and waiting on the beach in case the fires get closer to them. There are videos of our birds mimicking sounds of a firetruck siren. THIS IS REAL LIFE! HELP!!!

5 million hectares have burned. Over 500 MILLION animals have died. Some animals are near extinct.

Just a few places you can help donate:

I made my first zero waste switch today!

I bought a shampoo bar from Lush Cosmetics in Soak n’ Float which is honey based to lock in moisture

I highly recommend these to my fellow witches! You get between 80-100 washes out of a single bar and there’s no plastic to throw away! Best of all you can get a bar that is made of ingredients to correspond with your intentions or spells such as lemon, seaweed and sea salt, rose etc.
