- Make small eco changes like using reusable shopping bags, produce bags, sandwich bags, etc.
- Donate or giveaway items you no longer need or want.
- Volunteer your time.
- Incorporate or use green beauty products.
- Use glass containers instead of plastic.

- Buy produce from your local farmers market.
- Eat seasonally.
- Compost.

5 Eco Things You Can Do During the COVID-19 Quarantine Time
If you are like most others right now, you are self quarantining or your city has a "shelter in place". Now is great time to start to make some eco changes.
Switch to cloth cleaning rags. Since there is limited paper goods at most stores right now, instead of using paper towels to clean, use cloth rags, old clothing, etc.
Start recycling. If you have never been much of a recycler now is a great time to start recycling and teaching kids to recycling.
Compost. A lot of people are at home and cooking much more than they did before, so now is the perfect time to start composting.
Do an energy audit. Call your electric company and do an energy audit to see where you are using the most energy in your house and how you can save on energy costs. Don't forget to turn off lights and electronics when you are not using them.
Ditch plastic disposable water bottles when you can. If you are at home start using reusable water bottles or actual glasses instead of grabbing for disposable water bottles if you have a good water source. It reduces on waste a TON.

Happy Earth Day!
Today is Earth Day! Below is a picture of some of my favorite eco friendly items.
For the office: I love Russell + Hazel office items, recycled "farmers market" edition post -it notes and recycled pencils.
For the home: I really like Seventh Generation and Honest products. I really LOVE The Laundress products, which I have blogged about several times in the past. Especially, their Stain Solution. I made a recycled cork trivet that works great to put hot pots, pans and dishes on. Of course my very handy FEED bags that I use when I go to the farmers market and grocery store.
For beauty: I really like EOS shave cream and their chapstick. I LOVE Josie Maran make-up and beauty products.
What are your favorite eco products?
