Switching to a more conscious lifestyle may not be easy, especially for home products. Some ingredients or materials that we usually use generally have the power to clean hard stains and are somehow pretty cheap and available everywhere, too. However, the world is facing an utterly critical condition right now regarding climate change, and it depends on us-how we want to help.
The greener local businesses started to appear a couple of years back, from fashion, beauty, waste management, home products to recycled materials. And many social media influencers are beginning to adopt a sustainable lifestyle and motivate others to make the eco switch. As stated in our sustainable article about starting an eco-friendly lifestyle, why don't we try from the core of our reality? Home.
There are so many home products that we can swap to better and lower impact ones, for instance, cleaners, vanity products, trash-related products, kitchenware, and food and drinkware. Here are some eco-products that you can try for a healthier life and Earth.
