Think about your financial situation. Think of the financial situation will come from that package being packed, delivered, etc. the cost of greenhouse gases. Come on guys, use your sources: not just for YOU but for the PLANET

THIS. THIS. A movement we can get behind! Can you imagine how much carbon we can offset by not shipping books out each semester & then returning them? WOW

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Did you know 20,000 pounds of elastic end up in the landfill each year? Did you know there’s benefits to using a bamboo brush?

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

What’s poppin? Did you know 1 BILLION plastic toothbrushes are used each year, plastic toothbrushes make up 99% of toothbrushes used. MAKE THE SWITCH! DEMAND SUSTAINABLE CHOICES!

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Let this image be the reason you switch.... or stop composting your paper sticks....

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Ah.. the sweet satisfaction of cleaning your ears after a shower.... I hope each time you think of the seahorse holding the q-tip... it’ll make you switch, promise. Go from your plastic sticked ones to a compostable paper stick and then if you’re feeling fancy, try the reusable!

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Would you follow a blog about bread making/bagel making?

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

@ZeroWasteStore is a great place to start your journey!

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Day 3 sustainable students: shampoo & conditioner bars! Make the switch! It’s worth it to add to your shorter showers 😉

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

We will be doing a “shop with us” blog today on our Instagram! Follow our President @cbreawnna and member @Rachel_Morgan6 as they show you how to shop sustainable for the bathroom! Instagram: almacollegeleaps

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Day 2 Sustainable Students: BODY WASH!! Make the switch But first use what you have. Go from a plastic bottle to a box and then you could even go further & buy without packaging from locals or sustainable zero waste stores online! We have our favorites!

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Are you almost out of toothpaste but have another one stored in your bathroom? Use that! When you complete that one look at your alternatives! But start small, start exactly where you are with exactly what you have!

[Alma College LEAPS @ACLEAPS]

Day 1 sustainable students: start where you are! This is the best place to start, use those shampoos and body washes from Christmas (if you haven’t used them & wont, donate them!) completely before heading to make a switch!
