I honestly want to take better care of our planet.
- After all, my pal and I are only given the one planet.
My pal and I had better take wonderful care of it… Otherwise, my pal and I will be left with nothing. That is why I am truly self conscious about the trash that I produce. I buy food from the farmers market as much as I can, I use reusable grocery bags, my babies all used cloth diapers, plus I try not to buy anything plastic (especially if it is disposable). Only recently did I discover that I have a choice when it comes to my Heating plus Air Conditioning air filter. I have been buying disposable air filters for as long as I can remember. The disposable air filters are made of cardboard plus metal, mostly. However, they do come with plastic wrapping. They are also pretty indestructible so there might be some fiberglass or something in the fitler part too. Honestly, I don’t honestly know, then but, again, I didn’t see that I had any choice. I would use my air filters for as long as possible; When I needed current ones I would buy a immense package of them so that there would be less plastic wrapping. But I don’t feel like that is enough. I am still producing waste. But recently I discovered reusable air filters. They are plastic however you can use them for decades before they have to be recycled, then you just take out the air filter, rinse plus dry it off, then put it back. It is that self-explanatory. I honestly like that the reusable air filters will help me to not produce any more trash. I have been using mine for 3 months now plus just cleaned it for the first time. I just wish I had found these a lot earlier.
