Consumption habits can be incredibly unsustainable and dangerous for our environment. We must be aware of these effects and consume less in general. However, I am aware that certain things still MUST be purchased including toilet paper and other household necessities. In this post I will show you that everything you usually purchase off Amazon, you can get elsewhere:

Need paper towels (no you don't):
A company called Papaya provides an alternative to the disposable paper towels we are used to. They create rag-like super absorbent papaya sheets that can replace the paper towels in your home. They are very easy to wash. I have them myself and I usually hand wash them in my sink with dawn dish soap, you can also throw them in the dishwasher or the laundry cycle !
A rag will also work just fine to clean up any spills !
Thank you for reading :)
