@julianadeliberais shared her tips and tricks for preventing waste, staying eco-friendly, and saving money in the process.

1. She cuts open every container or tube to get every last bit of product out. While this may not seem like a lot, there is usually a good amount left, and could last you much longer.

2. When she eats oranges, she saves the peels and puts them in a bag in the freezer. Once she has enough, she makes an all-purpose cleaner for her house.

3. She saves all of her leftover skincare containers and gives them a second life by using them to store other things like bobby pins or hair ties. They also come in handy when you are traveling because they are small enough to take on to planes.

4. Last, she freezes all of her berries that are about to go bad so that there is no waste. She likes to use them to make acai bowls in the morning!

Every day, the average American throws away 4.4 pounds of garbage, roughly 728,000 tons. Food makes up a majority of our waste at about 24 percent, plastics just over 18 percent, and paper and paperboard make up about 12 percent. The hazardous environmental conditions this produces are only compounded by steadily rising land scarcity. We’re quickly running out of time to counter this, so start cutting back on your contribution to these landfills today.
