Every sustainability article: ‘Just buy bamboo everything, shop at Whole Foods, get solar panels!’ Cool, let me just grab my trust fund real quick.

Recently I’ve been collecting sustainable living hacks that don’t break the bank. There’s a few I’ve found:

  1. Actually eating my leftovers
  2. Cutting just one can of soda every day
  3. Washing my clothes in cold water

I also learned about buying a water filter instead of water bottles. Not really applicable to me because I live in Seattle and our tap water tastes amazing.

What are your best ‘broke but trying’ life hacks that actually save money while being better for the planet?
