Tip 1: Create a Zero-Waste Travel Kit

(Sunday’s tip: Try a "Waste Audit" to Reduce Clutter and Boost Your Eco-Mindfulness)

A zero-waste travel kit is your portable companion for eco-friendly journeys reducing your waste when away from home.

Here's how to assemble and use your kit:

1. Choose a small, lightweight bag or pouch.
2. Pack these essentials:

• Reusable water bottle (stainless steel or BPA-free) - This Phillips Stainless Steel bottle* includes a filter to help purify tap water when on the go.

• Travel coffee cup*

• Cloth napkin or microfiber towel

• Travel utensil set*

• Foldable shopping bag

Using your kit is simple:

• Refill your water bottle before leaving home.

• Present your reusable cup at coffee shops.

• Use your utensils for meals on the go.

• Use your foldable bag when you purchase something.

By embracing this practice, you'll reduce single-use plastics and cultivate mindfulness in your daily choices.

Tip 2: Use a Capsule Wardrobe Planner

(Sunday’s tip: Consider a Capsule Wardrobe)

A capsule wardrobe simplifies your mornings contributing to a more peaceful start to the day. To help implement this practice consider using a capsule wardrobe planner.

A planner helps you assess your current wardrobe to determine what pieces should go and what to buy.

You can find a downloadable planner here.

For inspiration, a completed version of the planner can be found here.

Something Interesting

This week we’re making DIY all-purpose cleaners, a great way to reduce waste and look after the environment.

Recipe:

• 1 cup of water

• 1/3 cup of white vinegar

• 5-10 drops of lavender* or lemon* essential oil

• 1 tsp baking soda/bi-carb soda (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix water and vinegar in a spray bottle. We recommend re-using your old kitchen clear bottle.

2. Add essential oil for a calming scent.

3. If using baking soda, mix it with water first to avoid clumping.

4. Shake well before each use.

This gentle yet powerful cleaner is suitable for most surfaces. It's a simple way to reduce chemical exposure and plastic waste while keeping your home fresh and clean.
