Becoming an
Eco-Homemaker:
Making your home eco-friendlier has never
been easier.
We have all become increasingly aware of how the
products that we buy daily are having an impact far
beyond our own four walls. Plastic bottles washing up
on beaches, chemicals leaching into our ecosystems,
you may have seen some of these things in the
media but often feel overwhelmed and not quite sure
how to help.
One of the ways to create
simple positive change is right
here in our own homes.
Think about all the products
you and your family use in your
homes (e.g. nappies, wipes,
cloths, toothbrushes) and then think about all the
single use plastic and toxins that you are consuming.
Some of the reasons that may have held you back:
1. Effectiveness: have you tried some of the
eco-friendly products from your supermarket and
been left unimpressed with the results and since
been put off?
2. Price: are you finding more eco-friendly
alternatives to be more expensive? This is thankfully
less and less the case and remember if you do end
up spending more, you will likely save through reuse
or more cost-effective refills.
A few quick wins:
• Swap out single use plastic for plastic free -
biodegradable baby wipes instead of plastic
containing wipes, compostable nappy bags instead
of plastic ones, soap bars instead of shower gels,
toothpaste tablets instead of toothpaste tubes
• Find products that can be reused over and over
again
• Go for naturally derived products to minimise
toxins in your home.

and your family find those eco-friendly solutions and
a kinder way of living.
