Hey! We’re not ready to go full sustainable, but we are trying to make purposeful swaps for things we buy. It’s time to make our homes a little greener. I tend to be an all or nothing, if you’re going to do it, do it 100% perfectionist (that’s a whole other problem to unpack for another day). However, that leads to the burnout-guilt cycle. I’ve decided to slowly start transitioning a few products at a time to ones that make me feel like I’m doing a good thing. Here’s a roundup of sustainable home items that will make you feel like a Mother Earth MVP without breaking a sweat.
