It seems to be the forefront of everything i do nowadays. Every thing i use, everything i wear, what i wash with - it is always on my mind. My husband is getting a bit irritated with it because i find something in the house that is plastic & im like "Right!! We are giving this to charity & getting something healthier". Im sure you can imagine his despair sometimes. The current debate is the plastic cutlery tray... it also doesn't look great right!?
One step at a time, one change at a time. I am committed to creating a healthier home, self, & planet, for now & the generations to come. The less we use the toxic items, the more long term impact we can make. HOWEVER, i realise this can only be done slowly one step at a time - & for whatever you replace, make sure you can either give it to charity or dispose of it the best you can (i realise some things you can't, but if its replaceable toxins like tooth brush heads, you at least saving the planet from continuous tooth brush heads).
Above are 3 alternatives i have made in my home for a cleaner home, self, & planet:
1/ 'Naked Sprout' toilet roll - plastic-free, bleach-free & made from natural, sustainable fibres. By removing harsh chemicals & single-use plastic packaging, it’s kinder on our skin, safer for our homes, & gentler on the planet.
2/ The 'Suri toothbrush' blends health with sustainability. It's bristles are made from corn starch & castor oil — plant-based, gentle on gums & free from petroleum plastics. The aluminium handle lasts for years, while the replaceable heads are fully recyclable through
Suri’s program. An eco-friendly routine & the planet lighter on waste.
3/ 100% linen sheets & duvet set support your health by being naturally breathable, moisture-wicking & antibacterial. They help regulate body temperature, reduce skin irritation, & promote deeper, more restorative sleep. Hypoallergenic & free from synthetic fibres, they’re a clean, natural choice for your body, your home & the earth. THIS ONE HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR ME. Honestly haven't had such incredible sleeps since changing to linen sheets.
Look forward to sharing more alternative swaps soon!
Always with love, M xo
