#29: Ban the Sponge

You can’t live without eating, you can’t eat without cooking, and you can’t cook without washing your dishes. And you can’t wash your dishes without a sponge. Phew. The problem is that this happens on repeat every single day, and your sponge will fall apart and wind up in the landfill. You’ll probably go through thousands of sponges in a lifetime

Instead of keeping up this wasteful cycle, upgrade your standard kitchen sponge to a reusable hemp sponge. You can wash it and reuse it multiple times, and it’s biodegradable once you’ve decided it’s time to get rid of it. In addition, since it breaks down in the environment so quickly, you won’t need to feel guilty every time you get a fresh sponge.
