So being Eco-friendly and sustainable looks too expensive? Takes up too much time? Doesn’t do the same job?
It can be – organic food can be double the price and also hard to find, sending you to different shops and vendors. And some more earth friendly products just don’t do the same job as they promise.
But you can change this by making products of your own, that do not take more than a couple of minutes!
