Five Steps to Create an On-The-Go Green Kit

Traveling?  Heading to the Office?  Simple Steps to Easily Promote GreenLiving



For those who live a green life, practicing eco-friendly habits can be challenging outside of the home.  For individuals who like to be more prepared, compiling a Green Kit can be a great way to enjoy eco-friendly practices when on-the-go for work, trips, hobbies, and beyond.

What are five items to pack in a Green Kit?  Read more here:

1) A durable water bottle: Purchasing plastic water bottles are fine as long as they are recycled afterwards.  But, sometimes, when traveling, it is not always easy to find a recycling bin nearby.  Pack a reusable water bottle in the green kit to refill with water whenever needed.

2) A fork, knife, and spoon: Plastic cutlery is not green and is designed to be thrown away after single, individual, use.  Try to pack one set of durable silverware in the Green Kit that can be used for on-the-go snacks.  This way, it won't be necessary to waste plastic cutlery.

3) One or two small plastic containers: Perfect for outdoor festivals and picnics, a plastic container, or two, can be a great addition to the Green Kit that will provide storage for leftover food and other resources that need to be sealed and secured.  Once home, containers can be washed and reused.

4) A plastic bag and/ or reusable bag: An extra bag can never hurt!  It can become the perfect place to throw away away or pack up waste if there are no garbage cans around.

5) A flashlight or reusable glowstick: Traveling at night?  Small flashlights are great to pack in the Green Kit.  Some flashlights are designed to be eco-friendly and long-lasting.  In addition, LED glowsticks are a greener, and cheaper, option for temporary lighting as well.

The final step to create a Green Kit is to pack the items listed above in a small case or bag that can easily fit inside a backpack, purse, and/ or briefcase.
