Hey, ArvoMo here. With our Zero Waste Journey going on, we are encouraging others to think outside the box of what you’re buying and think about how you store/organize things in your everyday lives. This journey presents an exciting opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment. Let’s explore some uplifting tips to enhance your zero waste laundry and storage practices:
Zero Waste Laundry Tips
- Embrace Eco-Friendly Detergents: By choosing biodegradable and eco-friendly laundry detergents, you’re actively supporting a healthier planet while keeping your clothes fresh and clean. Also, Plant-Based Laundry Detergent Sheets are very energy efficient and less expensive than your average liquid laundry detergent.
- Cold Water Washing Benefits: Did you know that almost 90% of energy a washing machine uses goes to heating the water? Washing your clothes in cold water not only conserves energy but also contributes to the longevity of your clothing, leaving you with a positive environmental footprint. Plus, not all stains respond to hot/warm water like sweat for example actually soaks into the fabric in hot water.
- Sunlit Freshness: Harnessing the power of natural sunlight and fresh air to line dry your clothes reduces energy consumption. Quick tip to secure a nice fresh scent while hanging outside : Add some essential oil (like lavender or rose) and water to a spray bottle, spray lightly them while they are hanging to dry.
- Reusable Delight: Explore the world of reusable dryer balls to reduce single-use plastic waste and embrace an eco-friendly laundry routine.
Zero Waste Storage Tips
- Creative Container Solutions: Embrace the creativity of repurposing glass jars and containers as stylish and eco-conscious storage solutions, adding a touch of charm to your sustainable lifestyle. Stackable bins made from sustainable fabric material create an organized and visually appealing storage space while also minimizing environmental impact.
- Simplified Serenity: Regular decluttering sessions allow you to feel calm, increase productivity, and help to have more space in your environment.
- Sustainable Styling: Infuse your living spaces with the warmth and beauty of bamboo shelves, wooden crates, and upcycled storage furniture, ensuring a harmonious balance between storage functionality and environmental mindfulness. Bringing nature inside by having wood accents or decor pieces help reconnect you to the outdoors. Flowers around and even growing fresh herbs in your windowsill will help provide a more freshness to your space.
