In the Kitchen

3. Purge your plastic cups and water bottles. Any family knows plastic cups can stack up, literally. So, we need to ask ourselves, how many of ‘em do we really need? And that all depends on how many kids you have around and how often you run your dishwasher. I guarantee you probably don’t need any more than 6. Get rid of the ones you don’t need, either by donating them or recycling. If you don't have many, and are looking to buy some, choose glass instead. They last longer and they won't impact the environment like plastic will once they wear out.

We’ve all learned about plastic water bottles leaching plastic into our beverages. If you have water bottles that aren’t BPA free, let them go. These tend to collect from giveaways and gifts. But just because someone gave it to you, or it was free, doesn’t mean you need to keep it. You’re the boss of your house and your stuff! Don't let things take over the well-being of yourself and your space.
Streamline those cupboards!
