Green household products
- Bulk Barn now allows you to bring your own containers so you can avoid having to use their plastic/bags containers — just have the containers weighed at the till beforehand; Hearterra and OC Beauty also do refilling
- Thrift stores are a great source for Mason jars and other glass or metal containers to replace plastic ones
- Winners, Walmart, most grocery stores, and Country Way all sell some eco-friendly cleaners and personal care products
- Making your own products using ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, castile soap, scented oils, etc., allows you to avoid having to keep buying items in plastic containers — you can search for recipes online (one warning…we recommend against making your own washing machine soap using grated bar soap — bar soap can gum up your washer)
