Sustainable Living - Eco Habit Challenge Month 2 - February 2018

Our "Queen of Green" Carrie Aikman continues the “Month-to-month adopt a green habit challenge.” 2018 is the year for going Zero Waste! In January it was all about adopting some zero waste shopping skills. This month, Carrie challenges you to replace just one store-bought product with a home-made version using bulk, unpackaged items. For example, avoid Tetra pack containers of almond and rice milk - instead, make your own almond milk! You can make milk from left-over rice, almonds, and oatmeal, all of which you can buy unpackaged. By adding in some dried dates, vanilla and cinnamon (also bought unpackaged) you can sweeten it. Or: make your own tortillas; chewy granola bars; and rice crackers.
