Less Waste

Biork Deo

To help the environment is to be conscious about doing less waste possible and what better way to do that than to use ecological, sustainable and package-free products.

 

I have been using this deo for a couple of months now and I am amazed by how it's natural mineral stone works and it's longevity.

 

Not to mention the Portuguese cork protection.

 

Try it! 


Natural Thootsoap

I have been using this solid toothsoap for a while now and it's an amazing ecological and sustainable alternative to toothpast.

 

It's completely 100% natural, made entirely from non-toxic ingredients like olive oil and cocoa butter.

 

A great choice to go along with a bamboo toothbrush!


Inox straw

Stainless steel reusable spoon straw, very practical to drink smoothies, fruit juices, milk shakes, ice creams or cocktails.

 

Zero-waste and plastic-free!


Bread Cloth Bag

"Is that your bag?" - Yes! and I don't even know why we stopped using it!

 

 Just think about that every time you go to the supermarket or your local market you take a plastic/paper bag with you... and now, imagine you go get fresh bread everyday, you and all the people in the world asking for a plastic/paper bag each time when you can take your bread bag with you every time! 

 

It’s simple, it’s light, it’s something you can have with you all the time, so, give it a try!


Buy in bulk

By shopping at bulk food stores you will reduce both your packaging waste and also your food waste.

 

Buying in bulk eliminates the need for fancy packaging & single-use plastic.

 

Making the switch to buying in bulk will make a dramatic impact on your weekly waste and encourage you to be more mindful about your consumption choices in general.

 

Buying in bulk helps you to think about your food waste and the amount of packaging being used. Before you know it you will be thinking of ways to shop more conscientiously in every aspect of your life!


Solid Shampoo

2020 is going to be the year I will try the WO (water only) movement, but until then, and if you don’t want to go extreme, "Lush" has some amazing solid, vegan and zero waste shampoos 🌱💚

 

Make this simple change and you are already doing a lot for the planet 😊

 

"Mind the trash" has some really good ones too and they are now launching their solid conditioner worth the try. There are plenty of options, the difficulty is to choose!


Safety Razor, Waycap Reusable Capsule, Brosse Vaisselle Bamboum & Reusable Makeup Pads

Change all you can, the world will thank you 🌱💚


Reusable Daily Pads

I just stopped buying daily pads and I finally started using reusable daily pads instead - made with love by Mémé Guloso 🌱

 

I am very happy with this change and I hope i can keep doing better and better and learning more and more about everything I can still change.

 

I hope this changes inspire you to change too and to have more ideas of what you can change and how easy


Menstrual Underwear

Another change 😊 my new "Your.m.time" menstrual underwear🌱

 

Unfortunately the "Organicup" was not for me and I had to find an alternative for it.

 

This "Your.m.time" underwear is soft, durable and sustainable and I am very happy with it.

Another great brand is "Shethinx", very absorbing and totally safe 💚

If the @organicup is not for you, try one of these 🌱


Eco House Cleaning Products

If you have some old or used plastic bottles like this one, you can make your own house cleaning bio products.

 

I only use translucid vinegar that you can buy in any supermarket nowadays in the housecleaning products zone. If you feel the smell is too strong, you can add some essential oil like lemon or orange.

 

If you can’t find the translucid vinegar, you can use a regular one and add some water (one cup of vinegar for two of water) and essential oil. Make this simple change and the ocean will thank you🌱


Reusable Coffee Cup

This cup was a wonderful gift from a very special person - my mother’s best friend - an amazing doctor that is right now fighting the best she can so we all can be safe at home.

 

I took this gift out today because I had a 10min walk in the sun and had a coffee outside.

In the street where I live there is this bakery that still serves coffee but because of this very difficult situation we are all living, they serve it in plastic cups that people need to take outside so I decided to take my cup with me, asked if they could put the coffee in a crockery cup and throw it in my cup and they did and so we didn’t touch in anything that we both have touched and I didn’t throw away another plastic cup after my coffee 🌱 win win situation 😊 Stay safe people but don’t forget to keep your ideas about the waste that we throw out into our planet, you can do both!


Use every part of your fruits & vegetables

 

Don't throw away perfectly good food!

 

Put the remain parts of your vegetables and fruits into a soup, make a vegetable broth or a smoothie.

Fry potato peels, they are so good, you will thank me later!

 

Be creative and you will do the best you can to avoid waste!
