5 Small Actions That Can

Create BIG Change

If you’ve been here for a minute, you already know that at White Lotus Home, we believe in creating a sustainable and healthy environment for everyone on this gorgeous green Earth. 🌍🌎🌏

And while Saving the Earth While You Sleep is our favorite way to do that, our collective efforts will be even more powerful if we take some simple, small actions while we’re awake, too! 😀

Since this month is Plastic-Free July, we’d like to challenge you to adopt one or more of the simple lifestyle changes below to practice this month and on into the future…

Because the small actions you take now add up to create BIG change over time! Let’s create a greener future together!

The Plastic-Free July Challenge

Choose one or more of the simple lifestyle changes below

to begin practicing this month:

Bring Your Own Shopping Bags

When heading out for groceries or shopping, bring your own reusable bags. Sturdy and foldable, these bags can easily replace the countless plastic bags we accumulate and discard on a regular basis. *PRO TIP: If you struggle to remember to grab your bags before leaving your home, keep them in your car! 🚗

Ditch Disposable Water Bottles

Reusable water bottles made from stainless steel or glass will not only help reduce the number of plastic bottles ending up in landfills but also ensure you always have a fresh source of hydration wherever you go! 💦

Choose Reusable Containers

Instead of relying on plastic food containers and sandwich bags, opt for reusable alternatives. Switch to glass or stainless steel containers for storing leftovers and pack your snacks in reusable silicone or cloth bags. These options are not only more sustainable but also keep your food fresh for longer. 👊

Say No to Plastic Straws

Plastic straws are one of the most commonly found single-use plastics. Make it a habit to say no to plastic straws when dining out. Consider carrying a reusable stainless steel or bamboo straw in your bag, so you can still enjoy your favorite beverages without harming the environment. ♻️

Support Local and Package-Free Stores

Look for local stores in your area that promote package-free shopping. These stores often offer products in bulk, allowing you to bring your own containers and refill them with essential items like grains, spices, and cleaning supplies. By supporting such businesses, you contribute to reducing plastic waste and supporting the local economy. 🤗

We hope these suggestions inspire you to take part in Plastic-Free July and beyond. Together, let's work towards a world where single-use plastics are minimized, and sustainable alternatives flourish.

Thank you for being a part of the White Lotus Home community and for your commitment to a greener planet!

With love and hope for a healthier planet, 🌍🌎🌏💟

😴🛌💤

P.S. Did you know? Most conventional pillows, mattresses, and bean bags contain plastic fibers, plastic polyfill, or plastic pellets? Yuck! When you shop WLH products, you make a healthy choice for you and your home, AND you’ll help reduce the plastic that ends up in landfills each year! It’s a win, win, win!

P.P.S. Also, while we typically use a plastic bag and box on all products we ship out, you have the option to choose a paper wrap and box instead! Simply make the request and ask for paper wrapping in the notes with your order the next time you place one.😜
