Today’s Solutions: February 23, 2026

Recycling, driving an EV, composting, these are some of the more obvious ways people can make their lives eco-friendly. With that said, there are so many other things you can do that are arguably more impactful and not so difficult to implement in your life.

For instance, you can easily make your coffee habits waste-free. Instead of using a conventional coffee filter every day, get yourself a metal coffee filter that is reusable and easy to clean.

Your shampoo habits could also be a whole lot more friendly to the environment. Just skip the bulky plastic bottles and replace them with shampoo bars like the ones available at Lush. Not only are these plastic-free, but they also last a long time.

Living a more sustainable lifestyle just takes a little extra thought when you’re buying your products. However, once you start choosing waste-free products, it becomes a no-brainer. Need more ideas for which products you can swap out for greener choices? Have a look at this list of unbelievably easy swaps.
