A Homepreneur’s Solution To Waste at Home

 

 Struggling to be Waste-Free is Real

It might seem like you have always been struggling to be waste-free. Remember when you saw two trash cans at the park, one saying recyclables and the other one saying “trash only” . Didn’t you try your best to put the right items in the right place? Afterward, you felt like an eco-friendly player. But what about at home? Why are your trash bins always fuller than your recycle bins? Or why are they full at all? Is there a way to cut down on recycling products as well as household trash? Is there a way to lessen the flow of trash to landfills? While we’re always looking to make the world less trashy, just recycling those items requires a large amount of energy, water, and chemicals. So, is there a way to keep items out of the trash and recycling bins? This would also keep them out of the landfills. As you can see the struggle to be waste-free “is” real.

Starting with the Right Product.

The first struggle is to find the right products to help eliminate some of the waste, in the first place.

Choosing the right products to go eco-friendly with, isn’t always easy. However, starting a little bit at a time with one great product can make all the difference. Maybe you’ve already tried being environmentally friendly, toxic, and waste-free. But you had to stop. You experimented with reducing your waste, starting to recycling more and being conscious of the products you buy. But, it felt like finding the right product to help with food waste was an uphill struggle. You asked yourself if it was worth it. Did you know that food waste is global?  Our World in Data states…

Food waste is a big ongoing global problem that is not addressed enough. Not only can food waste end up costing you more money, but it can also negatively impact the environment in many ways. Food waste has a substantial impact on our planet and our wallet. Whether you’ve bought too much from the food market, you let fruits and vegetables age too quickly, cook too much, or have products in your fridge and pantry that have gone out of date — all that food ends up being wasted. I guess you are now looking for a way to stop this food waste.  I know I am.

Well, I  think I have one of the solutions we have been looking for. Have you ever thought of using eco-friendly food storage products to lower your food cost and waste?

 Can  Food Storage Bags Help Reduce Waste?

I am glad you asked that!

Storage products for food especially silicone storage bags can be used to prepare meals for a week or more at a time, ultimately reducing food waste and helping save money for your home and business.

They can save you time getting out the door in the mornings for school or a meeting. Because, when everything is already prepared and all you have to do is heat it up, pick up and leave. Because your lunch container went from the freezer to the microwave to your backpack all in the same container. This means that with a little overnight prep, you can cut your cooking time and leave quickly in the morning or evening! Or have a quick stay-at-home breakfast before turning on the computer at home.

Why silicone bags you may ask? They promised to satisfy all of your wants and needs. If you want convenience, if you want organization, ease of use, longevity, and most of all safety and environmental friendliness, these bags deliver.

You can incorporate many ways to prevent food wastage,  and along with using silicone storage bags, it will benefit not only the environment but also your wallet!

Being a Homepreneur, there were a lot of changes I had to make before switching to silicone bags. I used zip lock-type plastic bags religiously.  I bought them in bulk. They weren’t eco-friendly or BPA-free at the time, and they really did not pass reusability after one good washing.  But after hearing the news about the toxins in them,I decided to change my approach, by committing to food-grade, durable storage bags, which would help save the environment and my health. And that’s when we found  IKLM silicone bags and I have not looked back.

Store Your Food by Extending its life.

If you use a silicone bag to store your cooked and fresh food in the right place, it can keep it from expiring before its use-by date. Your bell peppers, cucumbers, and blueberries will remain fresh for a longer period of time than when they are stored in ordinary storage bags. You can use silicone bags to store oatmeal, cake slices, pineapple pieces, cooked red beans, strawberries, fresh produce and meats, and much more.

The Silicone bags will let you freeze fruits or meats. A freezer essentially acts as a pause button. You can freeze a lot of your food to extend its life. And the silicone bag keeps it fresh. I feel like the food is better protected, not just from ice but also from the flavors of other food in the freezer. Also, the material doesn’t get brittle when frozen as with other Ziplock bags, so there’s less chance of tears or punctures as things get moved around in the freezer.

A Means to Make Your Family Safer

As you can see,  I started off using silicone bags by researching and testing them. After that, I wrote several reviews on them.   Now I am sharing how they have organized my life. How I  became more productive and hopefully environmentally safe, because of their recyclability and non-toxic benefits. You can take on IKLM’s challenge to going eco-friendly and find the productivity that you are looking for and that will give meaning to your life and will make your family feels safer.  Be sure to look at all the things that I Know Lucky Moon has to offer. Take your next eco-friendly step with them.

Small changes can help you to be more eco-friendly and ensure that we all play a part in digging the world out of its mess. As usual, my research is available in my blogs, as well as reference answers to questions you might have. Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments on this topic.

Yes, it is a real struggle to be eco-friendly and the best way to do it is to take it one step at a time. And I think for home entrepreneurs, like myself, that IKLM Silicone Bags gives us that opportunity to start slowly. Although this is just one homepreneur solution to our waste problem, it is a giant step toward world sustainability.

What You Can Do Now

I know that it’s not totally realistic to ask people to go waste-free cold turkey.  But I also know that if we all become more mindful of the wastefulness of single-use toxic plastic and its dangers, we could make a great and everlasting change.

One way to change is to buy and use less food, store it properly, and refuse plastic at the market.  But an even better change is to switch to silicone and other reusable eco-friendly products.  We talk about these other eco-friendly products in more detail later in my posts.

IKLMs Eco-Friendly Commitment

The company I Know Lucky Moon is embracing the idea of Purging toxic Plastics.  This mindful act has turned into life long commitment to finding and giving back more good stuff to our planet.

They state that “We are committed to brands that are conscious of the environment and that also give back to the community. And we are willing to take the road less traveled on products that are environmentally friendly, reusable, and that also adds a spark to our daily lives.  Our commitment to you is to always recommend the best products and to use a trusted supplier for our own products.”

They deliberately select products that are eco-friendly but, to add that spark they package their products with stories and visual messages to seal that connection with you, their customer.

Please feel free to share your story with us as we continue our journey to being more mindful in our fight against wastefulness.
