THINGS WE MENTIONED

If you want to learn more about water conservation and usage, we highly recommend Pantsuit Politics Infrastructure in Real Life: Water episode.
The Makeup Eraser removes literally all of your makeup with just water, and can replace individual makeup wipes and/or cotton rounds.
Make composting really easy with this galvanized compost can. Heather puts kitchen food scraps (potato peels, apple cores, zucchini stems, etc) and lines hers with these compostable bags. The can has a filter, and she’s never smelled anything, and things have gotten funky in there. Then, she tosses it in her green waste garbage can. **Check with your garbage company for composting options!
