Living in a small space like an apartment or a tiny house is a great step toward living sustainably.
Deciding which products you use at home and how you furnish your space can also help reduce your carbon footprint.
Whether it’s cutting down your food waste or reducing your energy usage, here are a few eco-friendly products that are great for small spaces.
Vitamix FoodCycler
Turn food scraps into fertilizer.
If you’re looking for a way to utilize your food scraps, instead of tossing them in the garbage, FoodCycler is a great solution.
The FoodCycler is like an advanced compost machine. It breaks down food waste into a tenth of its original volume and creates a fertilizer to add to your soil. Traditional composting can be smelly and take weeks to break down into fertilizer. FoodCycler can do it in four to eight hours, reducing the volume of food waste by up to 90%. Plus, the carbon filtration system eliminates odors, making it great for apartment living.
The FoodCycler is similar in size to a bread machine. It should fit almost anywhere you have about 1 cubic foot of space and access to a power outlet.
