Here’s a couple examples from my life:

  1. Safety Razor. I get a better shave and it’s like $15 for 100 razor blades, which lasts me a couple years. Way way way better than the disposable multi-blade Gillette things, which sell 5 heads for $20.

  2. Handkerchiefs. I am prone to allergies, so instead of constantly buying disposable tissues, we now have a stack of handkerchiefs that can just be used a few times and then thrown in the wash. This has also saved me loads.

What about you?

    1. Reusable canvas bags when shopping

    I’m sorry to be that guy, but this most likely will be worse for the environment.

    Reusable bags are alot more poluting than plastic bags, because the manufacturing process can use up to 100x the energy.

    What you SHOULD buy as a reusable is a higher quality plastic bag that is made from reusable plastic.

    This sounds wrong I know.
