21 Tips to Start a Low Waste Life and Save More Money For 2021
1. Keep everything in your house relevant and useful.
For example, mend all broken walls & floors, unclog all blocked drainage, fix wallpapers, repair all the repairable instead of tossing them out and getting new ones.
2. Try not to shop on impulse.
Avoid shops and malls if it is not time for your grocery shopping. Do not even go for clearance sales except you are sure you absolutely need the item and they fall into your “needs” category.
3. Use a reusable bag every time you shop anything (21 Tips to Start a Low Waste Life and Save More Money)
Using a reusable bag will keep the extra nylons away from your home. You can easily put one reusable fabric-made stylish bag in your hand bag when the need arises.

I understand it’s much easier to use rolls to clean and then trash but these are pollutants that are certainly unfriendly to the ecosystem.
By taking the pain to use a cloth or microfiber towels every time you clean the house, you are actually living low-waste and saving the planet.
5. Use a compostable toothbrush.

A plastic toothbrush is just another disposable waste that manufacturers have ensured stays useless after some days or months. You can become more plastic free if you ditch these disposable toothbrushes for the sustainable bamboo-made one.
6. Stop buying plastic or rubber body scrub, you can make one with pure coconut oil, brown sugar, spa-salt and spent coffee grounds.

Buying second fashion will save you lots of money and save the environment of too much mess. Second hand these days are more durable, earth friendly and safer than our newer generation fashion materials.
9. Save money on clothes by organizing your wardrobe compartment in order of pairs, colors and accessories to minimize random purchase of items that do not match and you won’t even wear.
1O. Try home-made cleaning products.
I’m not trying to say you should start mixing home-made cleaning products yourself without experience. But using the regular but effective choice like vinegar, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can save you lots of money and unnecessary plastic garbage.

Natural house-plant will help you freshen the air and naturalize toxicity from your house. Use air purifiers for your living rooms and moisture absorbents in the bathrooms.
12. Buy garlic, pepper, onions and spices in bulk, dry & grind and bottle-preserve them to save your money and to reduce trash.

Dishwashers are plastic or rubber. It is much wiser to consider making one if you wish to go waste free.
