Each night before bed, I use astringent on a “disposable” cotton round to cleanse my face of oil before I go to sleep. I toss the cotton round into the trash since it can’t (or shouldn’t) be composted with the chemical on it. When I realized the waste I was creating in both trash and money, I looked for an alternative. On Amazon, I found many reusable options and I ordered a set of 14 (plus a small mesh laundry bag) from Wegreeco. They can be used for astringent or as makeup remover pads. They are made from bamboo cotton and are designed to be washed and reused. They work great and I just toss the bag in with my whites in the laundry and I dry them in the dryer. I never run out and I’m saving money. Hooray for everyone, except the company that makes the disposables, I suppose.
This blog is my family's journey to living with less. We are exploring a zero waste life and blogging about it along the way. What the Waste?! is a comedic and informative source for how to start being environmentally responsible, informed about the dangers of plastic, and how to make better choices. Follow along with my family to see where to begin and what works. My promise to you is that I'll tell you what you need to know and keep it real along the way. You might just find that less is more!
