Know what really bugs me? Going to the park to play and enjoy nature with my son and finding trash all over. I’m not an easily annoyed person but this really gets to me. It’s basically a requirement to live in Colorado to spend lots of time outside. We live about half an hour from […]
Welcome back to our “Waste Less and Be Green in 2015” series! For those of you just joining us we’ve been taking a look at a different Zero Waste tip every week to encourage you to reduce your waste this year. Today I want to look at something that we all think about a lot […]
We have talked a lot over the last 27 weeks about making product choices that are natural and effective. One thing I personally love about The Keeper Inc. is that we want to see women thrive and support each other. We want to empower you to make decisions about your life, your body, and what you […]

Welcome back! All month we’ve been looking at the 4 R’s of “refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle” Last week we talked about some ways to reuse items from our home we no longer wanted and ways to get free items that others no longer wanted. This week we’re going to talk specifically about books. […]

Last week we looked at the new “R” in the reduce, reuse, recycle phrase of “refuse.” This week we’re going to talk about “recycle.” This whole “Waste Less and Be Green in 2015” series has focused heavily on reducing. It is my hope that by the end of the year you’ll have significantly reduced your […]
We’re all familiar with the “three Rs” of reduce, reuse, recycle. Recently a 4th “R” has been popping up among Zero Waste bloggers: “refuse”- refuse excess packaging, refuse free samples you don’t need, refuse excess waste… etc. This one is really hard for me to do.
