Today was Earth Day and here are some things that we can do to help our planet.
My mom use to recycle since I was a little girl and I learned with her. we have some plants in our yard and we try to use all the things more than once so here are two exemplos of what we did to give ‘other live’ to objects that use to go to trash.
It was a styrofoam box(like a cooler) where fresh fish came to a Japanese restaurant. We also use this boxes to keep things that we don’t use that much. These boxes keep clothes and objects without mold, dust or bugs.
A plastic water bottle (5 liters) and under it a broken water filter. Both with plants now. Small bottles you can use to put some seeds and give ‘baby plants’ as a gift fot friends (in Chrismas or birthdays). People here in Brazil use to like it.
Other thing that is very common in Brazil (at least in my state ) is this tipe of broom. It are made from plastic bottles (pet bottles) and is very useful to cleaning yards and streets. It’s also very durable.
Thanks for sharing your tips on being more environmentally friendly! I recycle and conserve wherever I can. From making my own bio cleaning agents to buying reusable packaging and more.
