Sure, Earth Day 2017 is April 22, but those of us who are committed to ridding of our homes of potentially toxic chemicals and reducing our impact on the environment are celebrating all month long with Norwex’s help.
Check out April’s great customer specials — which include the top-selling Pitch the Plastic Pack. When you purchase one of these packs, you’ll receive an EnviroCloth for free. That’s a retail value of $16.99 for our top-selling microfiber cloth that will help you clean your home using only water.
It’s stunning how much plastic we use without regard for its impact on our health and environment. I have written about my own reasons for “pitching plastic” whenever I can — and I invite you to learn more:
- Read this for what you need to know about phthalates — which are commonly found in plastic and should be avoided.
- Read this for ideas about small and easy changes you could make to promote a healthy environment at home and work.
- Read this to learn more about how you could help your children develop great habits by equipping them with reusable, nontoxic, green-cleaning Norwex products.
- Read this to see how members of my Go Green Team in Hawaii promoted environmental health and wellness for our beaches.
We eliminated paper towels in our house by using the Kitchen Cloths as dinner napkins. We also use the latte color to clean up any pet messes – the cloths rinse out so easily! We use the All Purpose Kitchen Cloth to re-oil our cast iron pans. I LOVE using our Reusable Grocery Bags ever since I had a package of raw chicken rip open in my bag on my way home from the store. The baclock means I don’t have to stress over messes like that! I also love using our Reusable Produce Bags for apples and lemons and such. They are much neater in my fridge than those plastic bags from the grocery store. I bring a glass water jug with me just about everywhere I go – no need for plastic bottles. 🙂
We are ditching the paper towels this month! I have a sufficient stock of the kitchen cloths and towels and the all purpose cloths that I finally feel prepared! I love my Norwex products!
I haven’t bought paper towel in almost 2 years! We use our Envirocloth for literally every mess. I have also started bringing my Norwex bag with me to the grocery store. I LOVE how much it can hold. It is super durable. My next goal is to start using the reusable produce bags on the regular.
I have replaced the grocery store produce bags (you know, those flimsy, useless ones that make your fruit rot when you accidentally leave it in there) with the light, sturdy, mesh Norwex produce bags, and I absolutely LOVE them! They don’t even need to be washed, unless you want to 🙂 Also, because of our amazing Norwex Envirocloths, we haven’t used paper towel in over a year! That saves so much trash, and about $150 bucks over here 😉
Thanks to Norwex, we have eliminated paper towels in our home. We haven’t bought them since July of 2014!!!
Since Norwex released their Silicone Lids, I made it a goal to get rid of plastic wrap in our home. We now use the silicone lids daily, have no plastic wrap in our home, and only minimally use aluminum foil.
I carry the Stainless Steel Straws in the Reusable Wipe Bag in my purse. That way, I don’t have to grab plastic straws when we eat on the go.
Norwex has really helped my family think about our impact and work harder to do better.
I have use substantially less paper towels especially window washing. Which I really never liked doing but now I find myself wiping my windows and mirrors more often just because the cloths are so much handier
I have hung my travel size ones in my bathroom for small clean ups on counter tops and mirrors
We all have our own water cups with straws instead of bottles water.
We have not purchased paper towels in 6 months.
In addition to using envircloths and kitchen cloths for cleaning. We use cloth napkins, flour sack towels for soaking up bacon grease, and stainless steel straws instead of plastic ones!
