How to Recycle (Properly!)

Now, I don’t want to be the one to tell you you’re doing it wrong. But you probably are. And that’s totally okay, because in all honesty until I started researching how to recycle I didn’t really know how to do it myself.

Some great uses for vinegar ✨ ➡️ Window Clea Some great uses for vinegar ✨
➡️ Window Cleaner (1:1 mix with water)
➡️ Fabric Softener (1 Cup in load of laundry)
➡️ Pickled Preserves (recipes vary)
➡️ Dishwasher Rinse (fill dispenser and run empty)
➡️ Home Decor, pictured above.  What you shouldn't use vinegar for: 
✖️ "Disinfecting" your home 
✖️ "All purpose cleaner"  Some hardcore sustainability peeps are going to attack me for saying it, but... please don't use vinegar as an all purpose cleaner.  Once mixed with water it will not disinfect surfaces. It does not have a surfactant to remove dirt and grime. It just doesn't work 🤷‍♀️  If you want a more ✨ natural ✨ disinfectant use Hydrogen Peroxide.  If you want an all purpose cleaner use Castile soap and water 👍  How do you use vinegar?  #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste
If I'm being completely honest... Parenting has b If I'm being completely honest...  Parenting has been the most exhausting thing I've ever done. But it's small moments like this where we are exploring that fill my heart. I'm watching my daughter experience the joys of nature for the first time.  Her interest in the little things like rocks, pinecones and bugs. It's amazing.  Though I often feel I regret the choice of bringing someone into this messed up world. (Mom guilt/Eco-Anxiety) I am so grateful for these small moments of peace.  Thanks for choosing me, little one. ♥️  #momguilt #parentingtruth #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste
