Greener tuesday-Live without for just one day

1007 - 34Our Day Bag has one pocket lined with green fabric to give everyone using it a small reminder to live your life a little greener every time you look into the outside pocket.That is why we have greener Tuesday here at Carripac, to give you some ideas of how to live life a a little greener.

One way to save nature and some money is to live without things just a little bit longer.

An example, I ran out of baking spray and decided to try melting butter and mixing it with flour and use that instead. I really works, it takes a little longer because you have to brush it on instead of spraying and maybe it doesn’t work exactly as good but instead I got more space in my cupboard, saved the money for the spray and one less piece of garbage in landfill. All in all it was a sacrifice I was willing to make so I am happy. This time I ended up not buying any more spray but most of the time that won’t happen, you live without for a couple of days and the next time you are at a store you buy what you need but the important thing is that I thought about what I needed and for me the right choice was not to buy the spray but only because I went without for a couple of days I got to try something new and could make that choice.

Remember that every little thing counts, if you live with what you have for a couple of days before buying something new you use up things, save money, maybe you will even learn something new.

Have a beautiful day.
