Not only is this great for the environment but it is FUN and you can customize the product to your liking. I use essential oils and there are some oils that lift my spirits (such as pine and orange). These also make a great addition to your cleaner. So when I give my dirty counter a little spritz I also catch the uplifting scents that I love. It is also MUCH cheaper to make your own and you know exactly what is in your cleaner (if you are concerned with your own body, your family's, your pets ... and what your contributing to the water stream when you wash this cleaner down your drain). Finally, of course, in a reusable glass bottle there will be no waste going to the landfill!

It turns out that you cannot compost feline feces. This should be thrown away unfortunately as there can be parasites in the feces (that can last for years) that actually harm other animals in the environment. I did find that you can compost the litter portion of your cat litter - just not the feces (but definitely not on your own in your own garden). If you compost the litter it should be done in a commercial facility. One thing I do to turn "waste into resource" is to not use plastic bags to throw my cat litter away. I get creative in using items destined for the trash to wrap and/or package the litter. At my waste facility they have a machine that rips all plastic bags open so they are basically useless in "containing" anything (unless you're trying to keep your trash receptacle "clean" ... but this can always be washed!)

During the tour to the waste station I learned that other countries are no longer taking our "recyclables". Therefore single use is literally becoming singe use. We need to stop wish-cycling and assuming our paper coffee cups and plastic bottles, etc. are not going to the landfills. They are. They are going to the landfills or ending up in our oceans. The 11th hour is here and we've reached the tipping point. It's time for us all to individually take action and stop using these items. 

This is also helping the environment because I only grow organic. Bees and other beneficial insects are attracted to my garden and I feel good knowing that the pollen and nutrients they get are pesticide free and healthy. This helps contribute to their population growth. Also, having organic herbs and veggies are very beneficial to my family's health. I love making mint ice cubes because it grows like crazy and is so beneficial to our health and immune system!

Yes! It's helping me reduce food waste!
