Donate diapers to a family shelter
Babies need diapers but they can be very expensive, particularly for parents who are struggling. Donate diapers to a family or women’s shelter or many food banks accept them as well.
Clean off your equipment at the gym
Sanitation protocols are more important than ever these days so be a good citizen at the gym and take the extra few minutes to spray and wipe down any equipment you used, like free weights and yoga mats.
Reuse household objects
Finding creative and practical ways to reuse household objects is a big help to the environment. For instance, instead of throwing away a plastic dish soap dispenser, see if you can use it to store homemade cleaning solutions. Or instead of throwing away a plastic iced coffee cup from your local coffee shop, wash it and reuse it for future beverages.
Make eco-friendly cleaning solutions
Instead of buying cleaners made with harsh chemicals, make natural cleaners at home with household staples like baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap. Just make sure you research which substances are safe to mix together and which ones aren’t.
