In honor of Earth Day, we’re sharing 21 ways you can live a more sustainable lifestyle today. Remember it’s the little things that come together to make a big impact !
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Think about how many one-time-use plastic water bottles go into the trash each day. You can easily save money and the environment by ditching the plastic water bottles and using a reusable glass or stainless version instead. Plastic water bottles also have the potential to leach chemicals, especially if exposed to heat.
Looking for good alternatives to plastic? Here are a few of our favorites: Anchor Hocking Water Bottle (family), Pura KiKi (littles), LifeFactory (family), ThinkBaby (littles), Hydroflask (family), KleanKanteen (family), Contigo Glass (family) and Clearly Filtered (family). Be sure to use a good filtered wate r too!
Replace the broken leg on your chair. Sew the hole in your favorite sweater. Rather than replacing things when they become flawed, figure out a way to repurpose or repair these items!
Turn the lights off when you leave the room. Take shorter showers. Purchase LED light bulbs. Invest in energy-efficient appliances. Turn off electronics. Make sure your home has proper insulation. Consider solar panels. Replace old windows. Install timers on lights and more!
Sustainable, reusable wool dryer balls are a great alternative to conventional dryer sheets without the myriad of chemicals that can wreak havoc on our health. P.S. Plus, my puppy also LOVES using them as toys so a total win, win!
Swap clothing with family and friends. Donate unwanted clothing, toys, and household items to charities, resale shops, thrift stores, and churches. If you’re looking to make a little extra cash, you can also sell unwanted goods and clothing on Facebook, ThreadUp, Poshmark, and numerous other sites! And of course, by purchasing gently used items, whether from an online marketplace, local garage sale or thrift store, you’re ultimately reducing the amount of waste too!
Tip: “Buy Nothing” groups on Facebook are a great way to give away unwanted items and create a sense of community. Remember, one man’s trash is another’s treasure!
Consider a compost bin, rain barrel or other means of reducing and reusing in the garden! Planting native plants along with mulch, manure, and compost can help your plants retain moisture resulting in less frequent waterings too!
Choose toothbrushes made from bamboo or recycled plastic, stainless steel safety razors rather than disposables, reusable facial rounds and makeup removing cloths, and opt for silicone menstrual cups instead of conventional feminine products (or if you’re not there yet, like me, opt for organic tampons made without chlorine and other pesticides).
Weed killing chemical products and fertilizers are hazardous to our health and linked to a host of diseases, health issues and cancer. Learn to love the weeds or opt for safer, natural alternatives. Check out “Natural Weed & Pest Control for a Sustainable Lawn” or our “Ultimate Natural Gardening Guide” .
Purchasing your produce at your local farmer’s market support local farmers, combat environmental pollution, and create a more sustainable environment overall. Choosing fresh fruits and veggies that are in-season uses less energy too!
Did you know a whopping 40% of food ends up in the garbage ? In an effort to combat food waste, Imperfect Foods and Misfits Market sell “ugly” conventional and organic produce that would have otherwise been thrown away for 25-50% less what you would pay at the grocery store.
Interested in checking out Imperfect Foods? Here’s a coupon for $10 off your order.
From electric cars and lawnmowers to solar panels and more, there are so many ways we can lighten our environmental footprint and reduce the amount of pollution in the world. Check out these clean energy initiatives from EPA.gov. for ideas!
Plastic sandwich bags are one of the largest sources of waste for many people. You use it once and it ends up in a landfill. Think about a family of 4 eating lunch on-the-go: A baggie for each sandwich, a baggie for a cookies, a baggie for berries… that is 12 plastic bags per day that ends up in a landfill or 4,380 plastic baggies per year!
It’s time to switch to the best non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative I’ve found… Stasher Bags . Made of platinum grade silicone, they come in a variety of sizes and colors and are free of BPA, PVC, latex, lead, cadmium, and other toxins. You can cook, freeze, store, and more with this safe, eco-friendly option!
If you’re in a scenario where you really need to use a disposable baggie, these one-time-use sandwich bags are a much more eco-friendly alternative to plastic. They’re made from biodegradable paper with a natural grease-proof barrier and are even microwavable.
Unwanted ads contribute to not only the decline in our forests, but also create more waste that will end up in the trash. Globally, it is estimated that 100 million trees are harvested to produce junk mail each year – that is a high price to pay for junk ! On another note, who has time to read through all of their junk emails which take up space and energy in the cloud? Not me! Oh, and don’t even get me started on those robocalls… ugh.
Trees cleanse the air, reduce water run-off, shade our homes and create sanctuaries for wildlife. Native plants also benefit the eco-system by allowing us to conserve water, improve air quality, and help support pollinators.
Walk, bike ride, carpool, take the train, bus, or boat! If you are in the market to buy a car, consider purchasing an electric vehicle instead of a gas-powered car. All of these transportation methods will help reduce overall CO2 emissions while airplane travel is least sustainable.
Choosing wooden or stainless cooking utensils are better for you and the environment than their plastic counterparts! And of course, choosing glass or stainless cookware is best! And did you know un-bleached parchment paper is a safer, more sustainable alternative to aluminum foil? Now, you do!
Skip the straw all together or opt for a reusable silicone , glass or stainless straw! As for the plastic utensils, opt for reusable silverware or disposable wooden alternatives like these .
Ditch all of the toxic ingredients found in traditional cleaning supplies and air fresheners! Vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon, and tea tree oil clean just as good! Several brands make safe cleaning supplies too, if you’re looking for a premixed solution. Both Force of Nature and Dr. Bronner’s are great for safe, multi-task cleaning duties! Check out the What Mommy Knows Amazon Storefront for more recommendations.
Next time your filling your cart at the grocery store or shopping around for detergent, makeup, shampoo or even toothpaste, consider the packaging! Glass, stainless, or paper packaging are excellent alternatives to plastic.
Please, pleaseee do this – especially if you have little ones at home! Many of the chemicals in traditional detergents, including Dreft, have ingredients that are toxic or known carcinogens. Be sure to always use a ‘Free & Clear’ detergent, although they can also be greenwashed by companies, so you really want to look at the ingredients (I know, I know… why is it so difficult to find safe products?!?). In my home, we switch between Meliora and Eco Nuts – two of the best non-toxic, eco-friendly laundry detergents on the market! Both arrive in plastic-free containers as well.
“Fast fashion” allows mainstream consumers to purchase the latest trends at affordable prices, but this “fashion trend” has become extremely unsustainable. Synthetic materials, sweatshops, and chemical outpouring into the environment are just some of the concerns surrounding today’s fashion industry. Cheap clothing gets made for a cheap price at the high expense of the environment and those making the clothing.
Buying clothes from sustainable brands help combat this problem a bit by reducing the amount of synthetic microfibers that end up in our waterways and the demand for fast fashion! Plus, clothing made from natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk are more breathable and comfortable too!
Here are a couple favorites off-hand: Pact (linked to my favorite tank!), Prana , Synergy , and Engel .
Remember, every little change you make counts!
