    31 Useful Sustainable Products To Help You Go Green

    Simple things to add to your routine to help reduce your waste.

    1. A silicone straw that folds up and fits into a small carrying case, so you can easily bring them wherever you go and always feel good about helping to save those turtles.

    2. A counter compost bin designed to not stand out on your kitchen counter (in both looks and smells) and give you a place to easily store food waste before you take it to compost.

    3. A Blueland multi-surface starter set that comes with a reusable cleaning bottle and three tablets. Just fill the bottle with water, add the tablet, and you'll be able to clean all the counters, tile, stone, and wood in your home.

    8. A silicone travel bottle set so you can, once and for all, stop buying the travel size from the drug store. This way is even better because you get to bring the products you use at home with you, ensuring that your routine won't change that much.

    9. An AeroGarden so you can grow your own herbs (and even veggies) at home instead of buying wayyyy too many for one person at the store and then wasting more than half when you can't finish them in time before they go bad.

    10. Reusable food savers designed to fit over halves of fruit and veggies and cans and cups so you can keep the food you don't use fresher for longer instead of just throwing it away.

    21. A pack of dryer balls, because you've been frustrated with your lackluster dryer that really doesn't actually dry your clothes for too long. Stop yelling "You have ONE job" at it and add these to your loads to dry everything in half of the time and never use dryer sheets again.

    24. A Hydro Flask water bottle with TempShield installation that keeps hot drinks hot for six hours and cold drinks cold for 24 hours.

    25. A reusable bag that folds up small to fit in a purse or bag so you can easily pull it out and use it instead of taking a plastic bag from the store.

    26. A set of cloth napkins you can totally use every day. Cloth napkins are not just for special occasions. Just think about how many paper napkins you won't have to buy anymore.

    27. Natural loofahs to help exfoliate your skin in the shower that can then be composted after they've served their purpose.

    28. A pack of beeswax food wraps that'll replace your need for plastic wrap altogether. All you have to do is use the warmth of your hands to mold the wrap over a bowl, container, or food item, and as it cools, it will create a seal to protect it.

    29. Laundry detergent made to be nontoxic and biodegradable yet will still work hard to clean your clothes and leave them smelling fresh. Plus, it comes in a container that's compostable and recyclable.
