#diyzerowaste

The 5 R’s of Zero Waste. Planning on expanding and adding new “Rs”.

You do not need to DIY all your products to be #ZeroWaste or to be an environmentalist 💚 when I first started learning about #zerowastelife it seemed like it was all about mason jars, bulk shopping, fancy containers, trash jars, and making every dang thing from scratch. Not only is it actually often not all that much less waste to make your own beauty products and things, the stuff you make is often crap, takes ages to make, and is generally a disappointment... (Maybe that's just me?) It's also totally unnecessary in 90% of cases! I'd much rather spend my precious time on things I love, and buy from #lowwaste businesses that actually know what they are doing and make awesome products! @noms_ire , @thedublinfoodcoop and @thesourcebulkfoodsireland have plenty of household products and beauty products available in refills. This is accessible for me, and suits my life way better. 😁 In this snap I have laundry detergent, hand soap, and dishwashing liquid. ☺️ Do you still DIY cleaning products, skin and hair care products, or beauty products? #DIYzerowaste #lesswaste #wasteless #zerowastedublin #zerowasteireland #zerowasteirl (at Dublin, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXCtiHWIwKE/?utm_medium=tumblr

You can also click on “The Zero-Waste Lifestyle” link above from a bit more information. Honestly, I would love to do my own zero waste lifestyle blogging, but there is already so much out there. However, I do really like this blogger so I’ve decided to include her!
