Could Your Family Do More To Help The Environment?

Cloth diapers are good for the skin and best for the environment!

Despite taking some major steps towards a greener, more carbon-neutral environment, the human population still has a way to go before reaching its sustainability goals. It’s much easier to change outdated lifestyle habits when you do it as a team, which is why it’s so important for families to work together when it comes to helping the environment.

Reducing Landfill Waste

In 2022, as much as 85% of textiles end up in landfills. A clothes swap with other families can help to reduce that percentage. Kids grow up so quickly and often outgrow their clothes after just a few wears. Hosting a community clothes exchange (all washed and cleaned of course) can not only help diminish the negative environmental impact of wasted textiles but can also save you and your community some money.

Composting is another fun, immersive, and highly effective way to reduce food waste. Get the kids involved in a home garden composting project, and either palm off the result to local gardeners or use it in your backyard for a family food-growing project.

Switching From Disposable To Reusable Home Supplies

It’s hard to escape the grip that disposable goods have on society. However, there are ways to work around it. One of them is switching to reusable goods where.

Cloth diapers, for example, are a very effective and sustainable alternative to disposable ones. These sustainable fabric diapers can be bought in packs of 10-25, and are softer on sensitive skin than their plastic counterparts.

But if you don’t have any young children in need of potty training, there are other ways you can help. Toothbrushes, shopping bags, aluminum cans, and tires are some of the most commonly found objects in landfills, and yet they all have eco-friendly, sustainable alternatives.

Drive Less, Walk And Cycle More

The accumulation of greenhouse gasses is one of the biggest threats currently facing the planet. If you want your family to do more for the environment, this is one major way to make an impact. Opting to use your car less in favor of walking, cycling (or even skateboarding) can significantly reduce your family’s carbon footprint – and promote physical health at the same time.

These adjustments may require some patience, but you can take comfort in knowing how your actions are positively affecting the planet. Plus, your kids will be raised to understand the importance of sustainable living. It’s a win-win!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Till Next Post!
