[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Where does the term \u201cAccidental Environmentalist\u201d come from? Well, I kind of fell into sustainability; I really did.\u00a0 It came about accidentally with my fashion brand, <\/span>Preloved Toronto<\/span>, which I founded in 1995. From my sustainability journey of almost 29 years, I\u2019ve learned that the best changes are small ones you can commit to.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve been on the sustainability path for ages or just getting started, I suggest looking at your daily, weekly, and monthly routines.\u00a0 What are you already doing, what do you have to do every day? Then, consider what parts of your routine you can change or swap out. And do it slowly, you know: change one thing this month, add another next month, stack your sustainable habits, and never look back! The changes can be so small that they\u2019ll feel <\/span>accidental<\/span><\/i>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s tackle some everyday areas of our lives\u2014do it slowly, that\u2019s the most sustainable way!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Self-Care<\/h3>\n

Alright, self-care is a big zone. It can include anything from everyday hygiene to a monthly hair mask, so we have much to play with and tweak!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Shampoo & Conditioner Bars: <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cutting plastic bottles right out, I love these shampoo and conditioner bars from Notice Hair Co<\/a>., and they\u2019re great for traveling! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reusable Cotton Rounds: <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut down on waste by switching to a reusable cotton pad like these Midnight Paloma cotton rounds.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunscreen:<\/strong> \"\"<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This reef-safe sunscreen<\/a> is made with vegan ingredients that are good for you AND the planet!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kiima Refillable Plastic-Free Deodorant: <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How many plastic bottles of deodorant do you run through a year? These Kiima deodorants<\/a> are plastic-free AND refillable!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kitchen<\/h3>\n

The beating heart of the home is a great place to offset some waste, be it snacks, cleaning products, or dishes!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dish Duty: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re manually doing the dishes or popping them in the dishwasher, there\u2019s a planet-friendly alternative. <\/span>Drop the plastic dish soap bottles and opt for a bar and wooden brush like this set from The Bare Home.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plastic-Free Coffee Pods:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a busy bee, and love your coffee maker, these are a great biodegradable option<\/a>, and they\u2019re delicious!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural Dishwashing Tabs:<\/strong>\"\"<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got a dishwasher, here\u2019s a great plastic-free, biodegradable option.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stainless Steel Containers:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I try to pack my meals when on the road, avoiding single-use cutlery and packing waste. These stainless steel containers<\/a> are a game changer and last forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raw Solar Snacks:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Support a local brand, like these Raw Solar Farm kale snacks<\/a>, made locally here in Canada and in part with solar energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cleaning<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m obsessed with looking for more natural alternatives in my cleaning routine because cleaning is a constant in my life!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All-Purpose Cleaner: <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Myni all-purpose tablet<\/a> is amazing, just add water and you\u2019re off! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dryer Balls: <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forget dryer sheets that are ultimately destined for landfill, these reusable dryer balls<\/a> will last you forever and help your clothes dry quicker! Tip: add a few drops of your favourite essential oils to the balls before popping them in the dryer! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Laundry Sheets:\"\"<\/a> <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No more lugging around plastic jugs of detergents, these laundry sheets<\/a> go right into the machine, and leave your clothes smelling amazing!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Toilet Tabs: <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take on the toilet with these natural toilet tablets<\/a>, made with naturally derived ingredients and a biodegradable formula!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve fallen into sustainability accidentally like me or you\u2019re diving in head first, remember sustainability is a habit we can develop. Every action you take, no matter how big or small, creates a positive impact on Planet Earth!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
