As the above title suggests there are some items out there that are disposable but do not need to be. That is to say that some things we throw away can actually be more durable. Ethical and Green came across a post at Planet Green detailing 10 items that we throw away that we need not. Of course this will also save the all important pennies.
Ethical and Green have already shown you the ‘i am not a disposable cup’ from Big Green Smile. Check out Planet Green’s post here. The list is below:
- Bottled water
- Nappies
- Air filters
- Paper towels
- Wrapping paper
- Individually wrapped foods
- Take Away food
- Feminine products
- Razors
- Furniture
Ethical and Green wonder what the carbon footprint is of a disposable nappy versus the perpetual washing of Terry nappies. We think the compostable ones sound quite cool though!
Ethical Superstore have a great range of re-usable items. Check them out!
