Eco-friendly Products I Love
CompostNow
This weekly curbside compost pick up program (available regionally) is indispensable. Compost meat, cheese, bones, bioplastics, pizza boxes, and so much more in their smell-proof bins. They even bring you back the finished compost for your garden.
Compostable Cornstarch Poop Bags
We're a two dog household, which means that was 6 plastic bags PER DAY cleaning up after our pets. That's 2,190 plastic bags on average per YEAR. These bags are made from cornstarch and will break down in many conditions.
Zero Waste Take Out Kit
Make plastic utensils a thing of the past with easy-to-transport eco-friendly silverware, straw, and napkin!
Reusable Can Lids
Stop scrunching aluminum foil over the top of your open cans; aluminum foil comes at a high price to the planet. These silicone can lids fit two sizes and are a food safe, reusable fix!
Beeswax Wraps
Reduce your need for aluminum foil and saran wrap with these natural, reusable, heat-activated wraps.
Reef Safe Sunscreen
We spend a lot of time in the water, so reef safe sunscreen that’s also effective at preventing sun damage is huge for us.
Compostable Phone Case
I’m obsessed with my Pela Case for my phone because it’s adorable and backyard compostable. This is actually my second Pela Case, and they hold up incredibly well.
Bar Soap
Did you know you use on average 7 times more product when you use liquid soaps? That’s money and harmful chemicals straight down the drain.
Coravin Wine Preservation
My husband’s a beer drinker, and while I joke about how much wine I drink, we were pouring tons down the drain because opening a whole bottle was just too much before it turned. Coravin keeps your wine fresh for like, ever.
Yoloha Yoga Mat
Yoga kept me sane all last year, and I recently splurged on a Yoloha Cork Yoga Mat. And I am in love. It’s so comfortable, and the padding is so good for my joints.
Silicone Bowl Covers
Another super handy kitchen product that allows you to reduce your long-term consumption of plastic wrap and aluminum foil while still reducing your food waste!
Reusable Water Bottle
We’re really active people, so we keep multiple water bottles in all of our cars now, meaning we never have an excuse to cave and buy a plastic water bottle!
