Description: Trying to be more Earth-friendly in your Kidizen shopping and selling? Here are 10 ways we have found to minimize our impact. Of course, just buying second-hand is a great first step! Here are a few tricks from our zero-waste (well, ALMOST) Home...
1. Reuse packaging whenever possible
2. Choose paper tape over plastic when you can.
3. If you get poly-mailers, remove tape and labels and recycle them with your grocery store bags. Alternatively, you can put them in a TerraCycle box
4. When you make a purchase, send your seller a message letting them know it's OK to skip the extra packaging and that you don't mind reused packing materials
5. Buy bundles when possible to minimize packaging
6. For shipping items, consider a company that makes eco-friendly materials. We love eco-enclose. Their poly mailers are reusable and then they biodegrade! They also make degradable plant-based tapes.
7. If someone sends you packing peanuts, they can be dropped off at UPS stores to be reused
8. Buy organic cotton and bamboo products! Avoiding fast fashion is important for many reasons. By creating a demand for eco-friendly products, you cast a vote for the earth!
9. Shredded paper can be composted! That includes Manila envelopes and tissue paper
10. Repair items instead of replacing them, and make due with less! The number of clothing items per American has increased 10-fold in the last 2 decades. All that clothing production impacts the earth. Less really is more!
