We think of cutting back on driving or purchasing organic produce. And while those are wonderful ways to reduce our environmental impact, our daily habits are sometimes the easiest and most impactful ways to be more sustainable. Let\u2019s talk about 9 of the best reusable swaps you can make for your everyday items!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>Reusable Coffee Cup<\/h4>\n<p>If you get your coffee to-go, you\u2019ll know those plastic, single use coffee cups add up. Not only are they annoying for you to deal with, but they\u2019re kind of annoying for the planet because plastic never decomposes. All of the plastic we\u2019ve ever manufactured still exists and it\u2019s likely found its way into our water or soil, damaging our eco systems.<\/p>\n<p>So instead, opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/swell.html?brand=swell&amp;main_page=brand&amp;category_id=4941\">reusable coffee cup<\/a>. Depending on your coffee shop, you might even get a discount each time you use it! (And if you get a <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/joco-2.html\">Joco<\/a>, literally everyone will compliment it. I\u2019ve had mine for years and still get compliments everywhere I go!)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51972\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51972\" class=\"size-large wp-image-51972\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice02-1-1024x800.png\" alt=\"Reusable Coffee Cup\" width=\"1024\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice02-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice02-1-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice02-1-768x600.png 768w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice02-1-700x547.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If you get your coffee to-go, you\u2019ll know those plastic, single use coffee cups add up.<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Reusable Water Bottle<\/h4>\n<p>This is the same idea as the coffee cup. You\u2019ll avoid single use water bottles (and paying for water all the time) while reducing your plastic use and your environmental impact! This is also one of my favourite travel tips. There are usually free water fountains in every airport, saving you a ton of cash and plastic!<\/p>\n<p>I go for a <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/bkr.html\">glass water bottle<\/a> (they\u2019re pretty and I prefer glass as it doesn\u2019t hold onto any scents or flavours) but <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/stainless-steel-water-bottles_4749.html\">stainless steel<\/a> is your best bet if you\u2019re worried about breakage.<\/p>\n<h4>Reusable Straws<\/h4>\n<p>If you enjoy iced drinks (hello iced coffee!), smoothies, or the occasional milkshake, you\u2019ll want some reusable straws. You\u2019ll be able to enjoy your iced drinks at home and on-the-go, but without the single use plastic!<\/p>\n<p>While glass straws exist, I prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/onyx-stainless-steel-straws_157119.html\">stainless steel<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/greenpaxx-silicone-reusable-straws_159209.html\">silicone<\/a> because they\u2019re easier to use (glass straws are so bulky, plus I\u2019ve dropped more than my fair share!). There are a lot of options to choose from, but <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/onyx-straws_116795.html\">these reusable straws<\/a> come with a cleaning brush and trust me, you\u2019re going to want one of those!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51973\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51973\" class=\"size-large wp-image-51973\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice01-1-1024x800.png\" alt=\"Reusable Straws\" width=\"1024\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice01-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice01-1-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice01-1-768x600.png 768w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice01-1-700x547.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoy your iced drinks at home and on-the-go without single use plastic straws!<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Reusable Food Containers<\/h4>\n<p>If you go out to lunch every day, you might have noticed all the disposable takeaway containers add up. If you want to start packing your lunch (or any food), get yourself some <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/food-storage-containers_1217.html\">reusable food containers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll avoid the disposable containers and honestly, don\u2019t they look so pretty? You can even get a <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/onyx-stainless-steel-ice-pack_121113.html\">stainless steel ice pack<\/a> which is not only plastic free, but I think it\u2019s so cool!<\/p>\n<h4>Reusable Snack and Freezer Bags<\/h4>\n<p>As handy as the reusable food containers are, sometimes you just want to carry a small snack. Or you might want to freeze leftovers and food containers can take up a lot of room.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where silicone comes in handy. Brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/rezip.html\">(re)zip<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/stasher.html\">Stasher<\/a> offer reusable, plastic free storage bags in a variety of sizes. Use them for trail mix on the go, or to store leftovers in the freezer. They work in the freezer, microwave, and even the dishwasher, so they&#8217;re really convenient for busy parents, multi-tasking students, and people on the go!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not into silicone, brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/colibri.html\">Colibri<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/itzy-ritzy.html\">Itzy Ritzy<\/a> offer colourful snack bags in a variety of sizes.<\/p>\n<h4>Stainless Steel Safety Razor<\/h4>\n<p>This is one of my favourite ways to curate a more sustainable life. A stainless steel <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/urban-beard-safety-razor-5-razor-blades_139626.html\">safety razor<\/a> means you won\u2019t have to purchase new razors, and the stainless steel blades you do have to purchase are super cheap, long lasting, and they create very little waste!<\/p>\n<p>And once again, like the reusable food containers, a reusable razor is so much prettier than its disposable alternative!<\/p>\n<p>Using a safety razor might be nerve-wracking at first, and I totally understand. The key is to use very light pressure and to let the weight of the razor do the work. Once you get the hang of it, shaving is a breeze. And while you can use a <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/shaving-cream_848.html\">shaving cream<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/soap-bath-shower_334.html\">soap<\/a>, I love using pure <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/olive-oils_4012.html\">olive oil<\/a>. It moisturizes the skin while you shave and it reduces your chance of razor bumps!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51971\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51971\" class=\"size-large wp-image-51971\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice03-1-1024x800.png\" alt=\"Reusable Razor\" width=\"1024\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice03-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice03-1-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice03-1-768x600.png 768w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sarahprice03-1-700x547.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A reusable razor is also much prettier than its disposable alternative!<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Beeswax Food Wrap<\/h4>\n<p>Reusable <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/searchresult.html?keyword=beeswax+wrap\">beeswax food wraps<\/a> are a multipurpose way to preserve food without using plastic or tin foil wrap. They\u2019re made with simple ingredients like hemp, beeswax, plant oils, and tree resin, and they\u2019re self adhesive, which means you simply press them onto the bowl, plate, or dish, and they\u2019ll seal! They\u2019re also easy to care for, they don\u2019t take up much space to store, and they\u2019re versatile &#8211; use them when keeping food on the countertop, in the fridge, or when you\u2019re on-the-go.<\/p>\n<h4>Cleaning Cloths<\/h4>\n<p>Skip the paper towels and reach for a reusable cleaning cloth! Whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/envision-home-microfiber-cleaning_110200.html\">microfiber<\/a> or made from <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/mabu-multi-cleaning-cloths_19279.html\">wood pulp<\/a> (yes, seriously!), a reusable cleaning cloth means you won\u2019t have to purchase paper towels anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I use these for everything, from drying my hands in the kitchen, wiping down the table after dinner, and for cleaning pretty much every surface of my apartment. They save time, space, and money, and I think they look prettier than paper towels!<\/p>\n<h4>Essential Oil Diffuser<\/h4>\n<p>Instead of buying disposable fragrance products like sprays, plug ins, or reed diffusers, get yourself an <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/diffusers-and-ultrasonics_3792.html\">essential oil diffuser<\/a>! I use mine all day long to diffuse <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-peace-harmony_94351.html\">grounding essential oil blends<\/a> in the morning, <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-focus-blend_94349.html\">uplifting and energizing oil blends<\/a> in the afternoon, and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-lavender-oil_19588.html\">lavender<\/a> at night.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not familiar with essential oils, read my guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/how-to-use-essential-oils\/\">How to Use Essential Oils<\/a>!
