Resource Suggestions - Journey to a smaller footprint
If you are ready to switch to earth friendly cleaning products, consider ordering through Grove Collaborative. They take the guesswork out of which products are good for you and your home. Every product meets strict standards for being nontoxic, effective, sustainable, and cruelty-free. Products can be shipped to your home on a flexible, monthly schedule.
If you are ready to begin composting at home but don't want the hassle of tilling, etc., consider a subscription to R.City - Recycledcity.com. Each week they pick up your full compost container and leave an empty one in its place. Your compost bucket is carried away to use on their Phoenix farm. It's a win/win! R.City is a full-circle service in the Phoenix Valley that makes it easy to turn your food waste back into farmland. R.City is returning nutrients to the soil and using it to grow fresh, local, chemical-free produce. In this manner, they are building farmland, reducing landfill waste, reducing transportation and spoilage, and strengthening the local food economy.
If you are feeling frustrated with the limited recycling your city or town offers, consider subscribing to Terracycle. They have several packages to choose from and they include items you never even thought about recycling before.
We hope this helps you with your journey to leave a smaller footprint on Earth, God's beautiful creation.
