I hate creating waste.
- There is so much waste that fills up landfills and it creates hazards for animals and humans alike, which is why I decided to do small things to eliminate my waste.
Not only do I recycle everything, but I also have my own composting bin and I have reusable air filters. I didn’t know about reusable air filters until a year ago, when I felt compelled to take my global footprint more seriously. I read about a ton of ways to improve within the home and one of them was by using reusable air filters. I was accustomed to buying and disposing of air filters every 6 months, so I was interested in trying out a reusable one. Although I was excited, I was concerned about how messy the process would be. The whole point of an air filter was to trap unwanted dust and debri from the air, which meant that I would be responsible for cleaning all of that out. I read the instructions carefully, and I was surprised by how simple it sounded. When I was ready to clean off the air filter, all I needed to do was physically remove the large amounts of dust and debri into the trash can. Then, I could wash the mesh with soap and hot water to remove all the fine particles. It was a bit challenging in the beginning, but after doing it once or twice, the process got easier. I’ve been really enjoying the reusable air filter and I’ve been recommending them to everyone I know.
