Recommendations




This page documents LiquifyLife's Recommendation page! On this article, I'm going to go over the various products, stores, and information articles we recommend that will help enable you to live a GREENER LIFE! As you may know if you have surfed through our other pages you realize that we stand for making the world for environmentally conscious. The products that we recommend to you, we have tested out various versions of, but it may not be one of the specific types that we recommend. The thought behind each of these products is the same though, with the goal here is to limit the waste produced and to help the environment.

PRODUCTS: The products that we use can ultimately play a huge affect in the health of our environment. If we continue to use products that require too much plastic or use non-eco friendly materials, we will aid in the destruction of our home. It is essential that we choose products that stand for and support the health of our planet.
  1. Reusable Straws: The connivance of a straw is unmatchable. I LOVE straws, but I'm not willing to risk the health of the environment. There are many affordable options out there that provide you with the comfort of a straw, but is reusable. I have used many different types of reusable straws and they all replace the comfortability of the straws that we are used to. The various straws have been made out of glass, paper, and other products. Often times if you purchase a reusable cup that has a straw, it comes with that. One benefit of buying your own individual straw is that you aren't restricted on which cup you drink out of. It allows you to not produce an excessive amount of plastic waste. I think that this is one of the easier ways that we can help clean up the environment. 
  2. Reusable Cups: Many people will use a new plastic water bottle everyday. These in turn end up in recycling or in the dump creating more waste for the environment. If you switch over to a reusable cup it will greatly decrease your waste. Although there are many products like this that are made out of plastic, having one compared to a new one everyday, will make a difference. Changing the cups you use to a recyclable or reusable version allows you to produce less plastic waste in the environment. I use a reusable stainless steel cup everyday to carry my water or coffee. I think that it is easily one of my better purchases because it enables me to have the connivance of a travel cup, without the guilt of being wasteful.
  3. Reusable Bags: I don't even want to think about the amount of plastic bags that are floating around in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic bags are easily one of the most produced types of waste. I understand that in some situations it is impossible to avoid receiving these types of bags, but there are ways to recycle this if you do. At many grocery stores there are designated areas right when you walk in the doors for old plastic bags. This is a way for them to recycle and reduce waste. I personally have many reusable bags for my groceries. This allows me to bag my groceries in one big bag rather than having multiple plastic bags. I am able to reduce the amount of plastic waste I produce because I'm attempting to eliminate plastic bags. I also found that many of these bags are very cheap and located in many check out aisles of stores. This is a fantastic alternative for you and is definitely beneficial to the environment.
STORES: There are very many environmentally conscious stores and websites that we could link to our website, but I thought I would share these two with you. I love both of these companies and what they stand for and I am looking forward to what they do for OUR future.
  1. Package Free Shop: I found that this company is doing a fantastic job of promoting green living. They sell the green products that you want without all of the wasteful plastic packaging. This isn't something that I'm super familiar with, but I will definitely be looking for my future purchases from here.
  2. MudLove: I LOVE this website. The products and materials they use and sell are fantastic. I bought one of their bracelets and it is adorable. Their products are made out of clay, which is way better for the environment than traditional products. 
ARTICLES: These are some articles that I would keep in mind when it comes to deciding to business with a company. These sites or articles will also allow you to gain more information on many areas that you may not be very knowledgeable about. I found these articles especially helpful if you have any unanswered questions when researching how to live a greener life. 
  1. "Greenwashing": Deceptive Business Claims of "Eco-Friendliness"
  2. What is Being Eco-friendly?
  3. 11 Companies Considered Best for the Environment
As I have mentioned on some of my other posts, there is no right or wrong way to help the environment. The ideas and products that I have recommended are great and WILL improve the world, but it is up to you to make that decision now. The ultimate goal is to create and pass down green living. If we are able to raise for children in a green environment, there is nothing stopping us from changing the world. It all starts with a little bit of momentum and this is a great start. We have made a big move in the last few years, but it is time to continue with that. Please help in our effort to SPREAD and PROMOTE GREEN LIVING.

Background Story of LiquifyLife Eco Company

Image
On this post I want to dive a little bit deeper into the background of my idea to start LiquifyLife Eco Company and our niche. Growing up I have always been extremely aware of the growing endangered species and risks the environment and Earth are going through. A few years back there was the BP oil spill and that had a HUGE impact on the ocean and the environment.  I remember how normal people made the incident seem and it simply blew my mind. I understood that these things can happen, but I knew there should be more safety precautions so it doesn't happen and repercussions for if these things were to happen. Around the world many people are coming to this same realization. It is time to take a stand NOW . In the past few months, plastic straws have made a huge buzz across the country. Many people are standing up and demanding that companies change how they do straws. This sudden increase in awareness helped me realize that there was a niche that we could really make a differ

Recycle vs Compost

This post is going to go into depth on the comparison of two very good options that help aid in the improvement of our world. Both recycling and composting are good alternatives to your everyday lifestyle, that can make a HUGE difference when it comes to the environment. Recycling is a way that we are able to reuse materials (paper, glass, plastic, etc.) for similar or varying purposes in the future. This is a very common option for most people and it does make a big difference compared to those that don't recycle. Although, this is a good option it also has some downsides to it. The process of recycling requires a lot of energy. Composting is a process that turns organic materials into nutrient-rich soil or fertilizer. I don't believe that this is one of the more common practices, but it still can play an important role in improving the environment. This process allows you to get rid of some of your food waste from your kitchen, leaves, grass, and many other things. This

What if all products were eco-friendly?

There are many different directions and choices that a company must decide on when coming up with their approach. Many companies loosely follow regulations for the environment. If there were greater regulations and precautions, they could help improve the environment and start a nationwide movement.  I know that these companies have a lot to weight in their decision . It is essential that they compare both prices and regulations, but the environment needs to be put at a higher priority. Many companies are aware of the fact that what they do is not benefiting the Earth. I think that as the consumer, we have way more pull in what companies do than we like to think. If we stop supporting companies that pollute the environment or produce more waste than is necessary, we can change the way that they operate. What if there was a rule in place that made companies follow more serious regulations? The possibilities could be endless. The choices that companies have can greatly affect the cours
