Making a complete switch to sustainable products to become more eco-friendly may seem overwhelming as it entails big changes in your lifestyle. However, you can always start with these five small, doable sustainability tips. As the choices you make all add up, you will soon be making a significant impact in saving the environment and improving the quality of your life.

Bring reusable shopping bags

Say no to plastics! Use reusable bags to carry your purchases whether you are in the market, shopping malls, or convenience stores.

Buy bamboo products instead of plastics

Bamboo is a highly sustainable material. Choosing to buy and use bamboo products instead of plastic ones impacts the environment as you no longer add to the plastic wastes that pollute the oceans. 

These bamboo trays come in small, medium, and large sizes. Moreover, their uses are virtually endless! 

Place wrapped candies in the small tray. Organize your home office items in medium ones. Use the large tray for serving tea to guests. 

Bamboo placemats are not only environment-friendly, but they also look much better and more presentable than plastic ones made to look like a natural product. Likewise, bamboo organizers are better in quality and appearance than plastic containers, especially when lined with a nice, clean fabric. 

Choose reusable gift packaging made of natural materials

Use gift bags made of natural materials the next time you give presents to others. This way, you avoid the use of disposable or single-use packaging. Moreover, those receiving the gift can reuse the packaging for other purposes.
