The lifestyle people live today is far from organic, which is why it’s so hard to switch into an earth-friendly one because we have become so accustomed to it that we no longer know how to live otherwise. However, if you’re truly concerned about the planet and you wanna help these simple changes can mean so much. Baby steps are all it takes to make the switch.
1. Prioritize Having Alkaline Water Supply At Home
Instead of spending money on soda, beer, and artificial juice drinks you’d be better off investing in alkaline water filter. All of those drinks mentioned contain little to no actual juice, offer scant nutritional value and come loaded with sugar and calories. Alkaline water, on the other hand, soothes acid reflux, neutralize acid in bloodstream, increase oxygen level, and improve energy and metabolism.
2. Opt For Organic Cleaning Products
This is the easiest habit to start with when you want a lead an organic lifestyle. Aside from that, it also make a huge difference because the chemicals in the usual cleaning products in the market are very toxic since they contain corrosive ingredients like sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite (bleach) that can permanently burn eyes and skin. Vinegar, baking soda, and borax are better alternatives.
3. Check Out Your Local Farmer’s Market
Aside from the facts that local produce are cheaper compared to those sold in supermarket, they’re a lot safe and tastier. Why? Because they’re grown using natural fertilizer, no harmful pesticides that don’t just kill pest but also absorbed by the produce and which we ingest when we eat them.
4. Consider Buying Used Clothes Or Books
Instead of creating demand for more clothing and books, which we’re already flooded with, you can buy from thrift shops or second-hand stores. This way, it may not be much, but you’re not contributing to the cutting of trees to make more clothes and books.
5. Switch To Organic Hygiene Products
This is another switch that will make a really big difference. Not only that you’re adding to the demand of toxic substances, you also get to save yourself from such elements from being absorbed directly into your bloodstream which can affect your health eventually.
6. Drive Fuel-Efficient Car Or Better Yet Drive Less
Air pollution nowadays have become so alarming, especially in industrialized area. What you can do to lessen or not participate in that is opt for fuel-efficient car. A car that uses less gas at least makes less emission and helps the fuel economy. But for those who truly wanna push the organic lifestyle further, then drive less. Use your bicycle if it’s just around the corner, use public transportation, or walk if your house is just a couple of blocks away from your work.
7. Plant Few Indoor Herbs
Planting more is always a good idea. Better if you can dedicate your whole backyard for an organic garden where you can plant vegetables and other edible plants. But if you don’t have the space, even indoor herbs are great. You don’t just have organic herb when you cook, but it also acts as organic air freshener and insecticides.
