CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - It doesn’t have to be a huge sudden change - with just 3 simple swaps you can be more environmentally friendly, and even save a few bucks!
Valerie Gackiere, owner and founder of Ekologicall, Charlotte Zero Waste and Refill shop joins QC Life to talk about easy sustainable swaps for the new year.
- Ditch the disposable for reusable (Swedish cloths, bags, facial rounds, food wraps).
- Raise the bar of soap! Solid dish soap, shampoo, conditioner to avoid plastic bottles
- Refill/buy in bulk: body lotion, laundry detergent, even deodorant (buy only what you need and pay by the ounce, without harmful chemicals).
