Celebrating Earth Day with KLIIN

Earth Day is something that should be celebrated every day.  Every day we should make a conscious decision to do better for the environment and our beloved Mother Earth and it’s simple to start.  I know it can be overwhelming and I truly recommend starting small and growing.  Just like a seed, let me plant a seed in you with some suggestions on how to reduce, reuse and recycle and I hope through social media you can show me how you grow in making greener decisions.

.@kliinorganic is a functional compact, machine-washable cleaning cloth that is, soft, super absorbent and compostable. It is the perfect alternative to traditional paper towels. Click To Tweet

First off let’s start with paper towel use.  This can be your first way to start in making a change.  I want to talk to you about KLIIN.  A reusable paper towel company hailing from Montreal, Quebec.  As a mother of 3, I am constantly wiping down and cleaning up messes.  Back in the day, before I started to reuse with KLIIN,  I would go through a roll of paper towel in about 2 days. From wiping water around the sink to spot cleans on the floor to wiping messy fingers and grease from the stove it was adding up fast.  Too fast.

Fact:  One KLIIN replaces the equivalent of 17 rolls of paper towels.

KLIIN-benefits

KLIIN is multi-use, it’s made from natural fibres and can be washed up to 300 times.  It also holds up to 15 times its weight with water. It feels strong, I like how it feels texture wise as it cleans very well and there’s no odour, even after a week.  I hand wash them, but you can put them in the wash.  I’m just starting to get my balcony ready as the weather warms up and I’ve been using my KLIIN cloths religiously in keeping everything clean and tidy and wiping down my windows(see my Instagram).  With cottage and BBQ season coming up, if you are looking for a great hostess gift, you have to check out KLIIN’s selection of reusable paper towels. It’s seriously cute and you can win a gift set too!

If I’m your lucky winner would choose: Waves : The Unscented Company + BOOKHOU + KLIIN.

    we usually cycle or walk to the store if we are only picking up a small number of items.

  19. Sunshine H | 22nd Apr 19

    we walk or take the bus, think carefully before bring stuff into the house, buy previously loved clothes and other items, and help teach the kids at school to use the correct bins for their waste (recycle, compost, refundable and garbage)

  20. Sunshine H | 22nd Apr 19

    I really like the heart, the paw prints, the gnomes and the volkswagon cars with the trees. It would be very hard to choose!

  21. Pam Fontaine | 22nd Apr 19

    We take reuseable containers wherever we go so we can take leftovers or pick up bulk goods without using something disposable.

    We are using less plastic, we take our cloth bags when shopping, carry our reusable water bottle and coffee containers when out and about. We reuse, recycle and have 3 composters on the go. These provide rich soil for our flower and vegetable gardens.

    We have stopped using plastic straws and now use metal ones. We use reusable containers for lunches. We are trying to consume less too. My daughter needed some new tshirts now that the weather is nicer, but had many long sleeves that fit perfectly fine. Instead of buying new clothes, I cut and sewed the shirts into tshirts. Easier on the pocket book too!
