It ain’t cheap to be earth-friendly, but…

It’s still worth doing.

And although the cost is front-loaded, the long-term benefits are something that even the next generation will experience.

These are two of my most recent earth-friendly purchases:

1. Lock & Lock lunch box

When we’re uber busy in the office, my team gets our lunch in our usual cafeteria at the upper ground floor. For take-outs, they use Styrofoam packaging and plastic utensils.

For months now, it’s been an active effort in our group to bring our own food containers when we order in any of the cafeterias in the building – thus the popularity of Lock & Lock and Biokips food containers.

I bought my own lunch box containing 3 square Lock & Locks with partitioning and a thermal bag. So cute!

The whole thing cost me P700+ though.

2. Schick Intuition Plus Sensitive

A disposable plastic razor does not last for even a month! Imagine how many plastic razors we buy and throw out every year!

Cosmopolitan suggested that we invest in refillable razors for women. At least, we minimize the plastics we throw out.

I bought myself a Schick Intuition Plus Sensitive when I did my grocery shopping last Sunday. I even bought refills for it already.

The ergonomics of the razor is really meant for the ladies. Galing!

The Schick Intuition is around P300 bucks for the razor and P255 for a refill of 3, with moisturizers.

Next on my to-do list: buy more organic stuff! I'm so looking forward to going to the organic market in Tordesillas!
