r/EcoFriendly

Hello! My fiancé and I are going to live in a tiny house and I want to start habits that I won’t have to replace. I know it’s much easier to start with eco friendly habits when you’re starting out. Because it is a tiny house, I have limited space, so storage methods are important. I’m still in college so my income is minimal. We also need pet friendly tips because we have a dog, a cat, a blue tongue skink, a Pac-Man frog, a tarantula, and various terrariums. I’m interested in learning about eco friendly cleaning supplies like what brands are good, sponges and brushes. Thank you!

Can someone please confirm if this is 100% eco friendly. I am concerned about the strings.

Started writing down every empty or single-use packaging item from my beauty routine for 30 days. Thought I was doing reasonably well but I was not.

The biggest categories: cotton rounds (switched to reusable after this), face cleanser packaging when I actually counted monthly usage, and single-use samples from orders I didn't ask for and didn't want.

The thing that surprised me most was that several products I associated with "clean beauty" because of their ingredients were in non-recyclable mixed material packaging I'd never actually looked at. The ingredient list and the packaging are completely separate evaluations and I'd only ever been doing one of them.

Still stuck on lip products specifically. The clean lip gloss options I've found consistently have the worst packaging-to-product ratio in my routine. Tiny amounts of product in complex plastic applicators that can't be recycled through any standard program.

Hi everyone! I saw a post on tiktok of this girl putting plastic in a bottle and theres mixed comments if its good or bad to do. I have been saving those plastic cat litter jugs that could possibly useful. If anyone had any advice or knowledge on what an eco brick is or how to make one please let me know
