“Go Green” Reduce Waste from the Kitchen with These Easy Tips and Tricks!

The world population is increasing at an alarming rate, and naturally, it is accompanied by an unprecedented amount of waste. Can you believe that an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste is being dumped into the world’s oceans every year?

Waste and climate change are closely interconnected. Whether you believe it or not, the weather today is truly unpredictable and harsh. That is why everyone needs to be aware of environmental protection and start “living green, living clean” – starting from your own kitchen. These tips not only help the Earth, but also reduce the burden on you every day. 

1. Replace kitchen paper towels with rags made from scrap fabric

Doesn’t everyone have fabric scraps or leftover pieces of fabric? So why not cut those big pieces of fabric into smaller ones to turn them into kitchen towels instead of tearing paper to use for wiping?

Believe me, using a cloth to clean your kitchen is not only cleaner but also much greener. What’s more, you can prepare two baskets – one for clean cloths and the other for used cloths, waiting to be laundered!

2. Use a tea infuser instead of tea bags

Consequently, the environmental impact of convenient tea bags cannot be ignored. However, this is also the factor that contributes to the increasing environmental disaster. From the beginning, using tea bags is a form of paper waste, moreover, most tea bags are not biodegradable.

Due to these reasons, instead of using tea bags, you should choose a stainless steel tea strainer, which is not only durable but also environmentally friendly.

3. Choose loofah instead of a dishwashing sponge

Loofahs are inexpensive and readily available, so many people utilize them as dishwashing sponges. A loofah dishwashing sponge is lightweight and produces plenty of suds, helping you save on dish soap.

In addition, pumpkin fiber also helps to “get rid of” grease stains on dishes surprisingly easily thanks to its strong and durable fibers.

4. Buy a whole bottle of oil, dishwashing liquid… in larger containers rather than smaller ones

To save even more, why not consider buying larger bottles of dishwashing liquid and oil, and then pouring them into smaller bottles once they are empty at home? This not only helps you reduce plastic waste, but also minimizes clutter in your household.

5. Use glass jars for easy reusability

You can purchase a variety of food items packaged in glass jars instead of plastic, including spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, salsa, and apples… After using them up, you can wash them clean and reuse them.

If you purchase plastic containers when buying some other products, and they are still in good condition, do not throw them away. Instead, wash them thoroughly and use them for storing food.

6. Use stainless steel knives, baskets… instead of plastic ones
