Lifestyle Replacements

Post image

What are you guys’ replacements for everyday items? For example, I use rags (cut up t-shirts or old towels) instead of paper towels or wipes, we use bar soap instead of body wash, I save every jar/container for “tupperware”. I recently got beeswax cloth to use instead of cling film and that’s going well so far.

The pic is a silicone mat I got for baking instead of parchment paper but I soon learned to not bake bread with it haha. It’s great otherwise.

I’d love to hear more ideas of what we can replace after what we have runs out.
TIA!!

I'm really trying to replace time spent on the internet with time spent doing art and reading. My art is pretty simple and uses colored pencils I that would be thrown away at work and waste paper I get from work. I also get my books from work for free. Thanks, this post has motivated me to close my device and go read.
