Want to create a non-toxic home but don’t know where to start? That’s what we’re here for! MightyNest has compiled five simple things you can do right now. Remember..small changes can equal mighty impact.
1.
Buy a Stainless Steel Water Bottle
Stylish stainless steel water bottles seem to be creeping up everywhere these days! Find one you love and carry it with you for a simple way to positively impact your health…and the earth
2.
Use Greener Cleaners
You have to clean, so why not go green?! If replacing your whole cleaning supply collection makes you cringe, how about trying one at a time? When you run out, replace that product with a healthier alternative.
3.
Use Reusable Shopping Bags
At MightyNest, we’re huge fans of reusable bags! They’re convenient, responsible and well, they just have much more personality than plastic. Grab a few and keep them in your car so you’re less tempted to go for plastic the next time you’re in the checkout lane.
4.
Choose Safer Body Care Products
Diaper creams, sunscreens, moisturizers, soaps… everything we slather onto our bodies gets absorbed into our bodies and can have a big impact on our health and the health of our little ones. Do some experimenting with new products the next time you run out of your favorite lotion. There are so many products available that provide safer alternatives for skin care. You just might find something you can’t live without!
5.
Buy Non-Toxic Toys
No, we’re not saying you have to dump the whole toy box and start over. But if your little one has a birthday party coming up, challenge yourself to skip the plastic battery-operated toys and instead buy toys made with wood (free from toxic paints and adhesives) or organic cotton. And slowly sneak out any questionable items from the toy shelf. We promise he won’t know the difference – but you will.
