1. Homemade Cleaning and Anti-bacterial Products
Inspired by Megan @ Mousehouse and Wendyl the Green Goddess. So far we have made the cleaning spray and antibacterial spray. Enjoying them both.
2. Frege bags
I try to use reusable shopping bags as often as possible. I love my frege bags given to me by my sister. She sells these as a little business. You could also make them if you were super skilled with your sewing machine. Or see this link to make your own grocery tote.
3. Old Tea Towels - New Cleaning Cloths
Now that I am sifting out my shop brought cleaners and very excitedly using my homemade ones I am also trying to cut down on using paper towels for cleaning and using old tea towels. Use, wash, reuse!
4. Hot steam mop
We bought a hot steam mop over summer. Love, love, love it. Steaming hot water to wash our tiles. No product just water. Uses power, but leaves us with a natural clean.
5. Seasonal Harvesting and Sowing
I have started really putting an effort into seasonal produce shopping and I am back into our vege garden. Delish! Loving my weekly inspiration from Lynda Hallinan of NZ Gardener.

Roll on April to see where my moves toward eco-living take me. I would love to hear any of the small but significant moves toward eco-living which you are making.
hi, I am always trying to make that move too :) It is exciting to see so many others also doing this.
ReplyDeleteI have been making my own washing powder for a while and Im about to try Wendyl's laundry liquid. i refuse to use chemicals to clean so mostly use vinegar and baking soda. We are also attempting to follow a "real food" diet.
have you come across linda hallinan's blog? a friend put me on to it the other day
