☆.𓋼𓍊 Small habits 𓍊𓋼𓍊.☆~ The real money saver
𖠰 Unplugging Ghost outlets: When you're not charging your phone or using a lamp or any other small item, unplug it completely from the wall. Doing this saves on power which the less power you consume the lower your power bill is for one and lowers your carbon footprint.
𖠰 Limit water use: By turning off the water when you're not rinsing, by turning off the water when you brush your teeth, you limit your water consumption by gallons in a year. Which again, the less water you use the less money you will spend on the water bill.
𖠰 Use Candles: Candles are a great way to limit the number of lights you use and the amount of air fresheners you buy. Many candles do not have any plastic and can save money on the electricity bill. Many candle brands are cheaper than a bottle of Fra breeze and last longer.

𓆏 Bamboo toothbrushes: These can be found cheap at dollar general (Depending on where you're at). These do last longer before fraying when compared to the plastic toothbrushes. They're also much better for the environment as well.
𓆏 Using a water flosser: These are reusable, and don't have plastic waste unlike normal flossing picks.
𓆏 Buying reusable bags: These are great for when you go grocery shopping, or go out in general, as some places do charge you if you want a bag.
𓆏 Metal water bottle and straw: Overall amazing option that a lot of people have and use.
✿ Using Rainwater: This is great for watering plants and saves money on the water bill for you to water everything.
✿ Planting your own fruits and vegetables: Helps limit the amount bought in stores which lowers pesticide numbers, overall great to have plants, and a great source of food. Will also help you start a compost pile, which is great for the environment rather than ending up in a land mind
✿ Using local plants: This helps support your natural environment and help the bee/ pollinator section of the wildlife! Also planting flowers native to your area attracts butterflies which is a pretty sight to see. Also it helps with the bird population as well.
"This won't help or do anything" says millions a year, it does help it does build up. You can do it, we can do it.
