Everyone today, more than ever, is aware of how important the environment is. The main problem is how to save it consistently from what could do it harm. You could try to use reusable tote bags or single-use plastics, but there is more. Did you know that your toothpaste tube is dangerous and that swallowing your toothpaste helps you save the environment? Well, the suggestions in this article piece may sound crazy, but they are practical and easy to manage. Just note that little things do count and that the smallest adjustment has a huge impact.

Here are the three simple innovations that will lower your carbon footprint.

1. Swallowing your toothpaste

Say hello to toothpaste tablets. So why would you consider a tablet for your teeth? We all know the feeling of trying to squeeze out the last bit of paste from the tube. The next thing is that we dump the tube, and it goes to join a billion toothpaste tubes in a landfill somewhere. A company by the Bite delivers 248 toothpaste tablets that can last you for 4 months. All you need to do is chew the tablet, it forms up, and you grab a wet toothbrush. The tablet toothpaste is made with ingredients that are vegan-friendly and have a minty fresh flavor. The tablets come in a glass jar that you can refill. Bite also specializes in other oral hygiene products such as mouthwash tablets, plant-based toothbrushes, and zero plastic dental flosses.

2. Reusable food storage bags

You save both money and the environment by carrying your food in a reusable food bag. According to Recycle Nation, the stats are that the average family uses 500 Ziplock nags annually. The unfortunate part is that these bags will be dumped in the garbage after a single use. This situation can be avoided by making use of reusable bags. These are mostly made of silicone, and some can be flipped for easy washing. Here are a few worthy mentions:

• Freshmage 6-Pack Reusable Storage Bags
• Rezip 3-Piece Stand-Up Leakproof Reusable Storage Bag Kit
• AISHN Reusable Silicone Food Bag Storage

3. Google isn’t all that

Google is good, but that does not mean that the rest of the search engines cannot deliver. So why not opt for a search engine that promotes a good cause, such as saving the environment? You will still get the information you get from Google, but in this case, your queries will boost an environmental cause. Some of these search engines are:

• Givero
• Ecosia
• Ekoru.
