Sustainable Blog Edition #10.
Living a sustainable life is deeper than just buying products that are sustainably made. Living a sustainable life also means being as waste free as possible. Some of the normal things we use everyday, such as dish soap, hair care products, laundry detergent, household cleaners, are stored in plastic containers that are not good for the environment. How to combat that waste? Refillable station stores. These refillable stores will let you fill up on everyday personal items.
It’s pretty easy, you can bring your own bottle from home or you can buy one from the ones that store provides; fill up as much as you would like on products you need. Then, when you run out of those items, just go back to that store with your reusable containers and do the process again. Within no time you will see how less you throw away!
Los Angeles provides several zero-waste refill stations, and here are some of the ones we love:
