There is no 'one size fits all' approach. We are only human, but we do have a responsibility to Mother Earth.

• Ditch the plastic and cardboard. Purchase reusable bags to use when shopping.
• Purchase items made of bamboo and hemp for household items, instead of plastic. Think toothbrushes, dish scrubbers, brushes, sheets, towels, ie. 
• Biodegradable cutlery and plates are available at all grocery stores.
• Have reusable towels and hand-towels for kitchen use, household cleaning, and unwanted spills. We get it, vomit happens. And while we aren't brave enough to clean cat puke with reusable hand towels that also clean our surfaces, we do use bamboo paper towels ☆tree free☆ for icky spills!
• Ditch the plastic bags and containers in the produce section. Bring your own bags to put produce in - or ditch the need for bags altogether. You're going to wash the produce at home, no matter what, after all.
• Invest in products with a larger volume - to cut down on plastic and glass. For example, purchase a 128oz container of Apple Cider Vinegar - instead of a 16oz bottle. This will save you major bucks and waste. Prepare your budget for these investments. Or, ask a loved one to go in half or third-sies with ya.
• Purchase spices, herbs, carrier oils, ie. in bulk from Banyan Botanicals or your local Asian, African, and Hispanic grocery store.
• Obsessed with sparkling water? Same. Save money by ditching the Pelligrinos and Topo Chicos. Purchase a Soda Stream and return the cylinders locally for money back and waste free up-cycling. Don't purchase Soda Stream flavorings though. They are loaded with chemicals and dyes!!! Instead, make your own flavoring. Desire sugar free? Add monk fruit sugar or similar. Don't care for organic cane sugar, sweeten your syrup with honey instead. I always add equal parts water, sweetener, and whatever herb(s) I am flavoring with. TO NOTE: I've tried mixes from clean companies that make kombucha and other flavors for sparkling water.
