21 Ideas (or more) to reduce plastic in your house. We start with bathroom.
Here is the video
I forgot to mention in the video, look for local suppliers. There are lots handmade shampoo and soap bars out there! And they are made by self-employed people needing your support.
Idea number 1. How to reduce usage of plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles?
In our house we use at least 3 bottles a month. That equals 36 a year. Let’s say half of our population use shampoo bottles. 3.5 bln people (I made up this number for simplicity of explanation) x 3 that’s potentially 126 billion bottles a year ending in the landfills. The website I provided the link to on YouTube quotes 552 million bottles a year… Isn’t it scary?
Through yoga practice, meditation, my awareness of life increased. I started to realise, naturally, the connection with nature and impact of my own actions on others and everything around me.
I started my journey with plastic 2 years ago. I was terribly busy at that time and I really didn’t have time to research any ideas on how to reduce the plastic usage in my house. Hence, I decided to record all the ideas I implemented for the last two years. I did not do everything at once. It was a process – still is. So please be kind to yourself and try not to overload yourself. One step at the time. In the first video I explain why I feel so strong about war against plastic. Forgive my passion lol Hopefully it will make the process easier for someone else.
On you tube I posted additional links to some videos related to subject and article.
