Achoo!

When its Spring time, a lot of us get Spring allergies. Which means the sniffles and sneezing all over the place! A great way to reduce waste is instead of using disposable tissues to blow your nose, is to invest in a good handkerchief. This is very beneficial toward you. Not only will it be softer on your nose, but it can save space in the dump. Think about it, when you buy tissues you have to basically throw away the whole product. Once you get a box of tissues you have to open it, which is wrapped in plastic which you throw away. Then you use a Kleenex which once again you eventually throw away. When all the tissues are gone then you (hopefully) recycle the container! Tissues can add up to a high amount of money each year. Just buy a bulk back of organic handkerchiefs (click here) and you good to go. Saving the Earth and money one tissue at a time. These special organic hankies aren't bleached or made with hard chemicals. Plus they aren't ever dispensed with a box! If you want to keep the hankies smelling sweet, try adding a few drops of essential oil to the last rinse! If you don't want to go out and buy hankies try to find an old shirt and cut it up in to squares or use an old worn wash clothe.
