Get started on sustainable living with easy lifestyle changes you can make in the kitchen
It’s often said that nature made a healthier comeback during the pandemic, but it only really showed how much work we still need to do to enjoy a healthier environment in the decades to come. While the idea of reducing our impact on the planet seems daunting, an ideal place to start eco-friendly practices in your own home is in your kitchen, which is regarded as a heavy-use area.
Living a friendlier life towards the environment can start with small things like reducing your waste and changing out a few single-use disposable products you use to more sustainable and eco-friendly ones. To get started, here are a few kitchen essentials that could double as sustainable options:

Paper towels in the kitchen can be convenient, but they can easily build up into a big pile of trash. Reusable kitchen towels are just as effective in cleaning up spills and kitchen mishaps without creating nearly as much waste as disposable towels. Reusable paper towels can be made of bamboo and cotton, cellulose sponge, or microfiber, which often require fewer raw materials.
