    1. Swap out your store-bought TP for this sustainable, enviro-conscious stuff by How We Roll.

    HWR

    How We Roll is an Australian-born and environmentally-friendly company that creates guilt-free, sustainable toilet paper that you can order on subscription, to be delivered straight to your door.

    You can get 48 rolls of 3 Ply Double Length TP for just $45 USD ($49.50 AUD) — which works out to roughly a buck per roll!

    2. And while you're there, consider getting some more eco-friendly dog poop bags.

    HWR

    Clean up your pooch’s waste too with 100% certified compostable and biodegradable dog poop bags. You can grab a 15-pack for just $2.52 USD ($2.80 AUD).

    Promising review: "Best eco dog poop bags I've used! Trying to open environmentally friendly dog poo bags has been a massive struggle in my life and one that How We Roll has fixed. They open easy, excellent value for money and are also kinda cute. Definitely recommend buying them."

    It's estimated that Aussies toss out one billion coffee cups each year, which is a pretty sobering statistic. Do your bit towards minimising that waste and get yourself a reusable cup — before your next flat white.

    We understand that not all cafes in Australia are accepting reusable cups right now, but it's still a great way to take your coffee beans on-the-go.

    Get it from Amazon Australia for $26.

    4. Trade in one-use cling film for reusable beeswax wraps.

    Amazon

    One of the biggest sources of waste in our homes is the plastic we keep our food in. Beeswax wraps are natural, anti-bacterial alternatives which can replace both cling film and plastic storage containers.

    Get it from Amazon Australia for $17.95 (six pack).

    5. Or, if you're vegan, these vegetable wax food wraps.

    Amazon

    All natural, sustainable and bee-friendly.

    Get it from Amazon Australia for $26.95 (four pack).

    6. Swap out paper towels for sustainable wipes you can reuse again and again.

    Amazon

    Breathe a little easier knowing you're doing your bit for Mother Nature. These microfiber cleaning cloths won't scratch surfaces, are lint-free, non-abrasive and so easy to wash. They absorb more water and dry faster than cotton, which means you don't have to worry about them sitting around damp in your kitchen sink, slowly growing mould.

    Get it from Amazon Australia for $17.99 (12 pack).

    7. Ditch plastic straws for reusable straws.

    Amazon

    Australians use about 10 million plastic straws every day, which ultimately end up in landfills and oceans around Oz. Pack one of these lil' guys in your handbag and you'll be sipping smoothies guilt-free.

    Get it from Amazon Australia for $19.99 (four pack).

    8. Get rid of plastic brushes and sponges in the kitchen for good, with the Eco Brush Set.

    Seed & Sprout

    Did you know most brushes, even ones labelled "eco", use either plastic bristles or animal hair bristles? No thank you! We want it all natural and with no animal byproducts please. So we love these Seed & Sprout brushes — the handles are made out of sustainable bamboo, with 100% plant fibre for the bristles.

    You get five brushes including an oval scrubbing brush, a dish washer, a pot scrubber, a vegetable brush (with the round handle) and a bottle brush 100% plant-fibre, non-plastic bristles

    Promising review: "Amazing! These brushes are absolutely beautiful, I’ve been looking for eco friendly brushes for so long and this set has every brush I could ever need, the perfect set."

This 14-piece set means you'll be able to carry everything from bulk glass food jars to fresh fruit and veg and every imaginable grocery item without them all bashing into each other.

    Promising review: "I love this bundle. The shipping was very quick and super impressed with the quality of the grocery shopping bags. I took them for a test run at my local green grocer and was able to carry all of my shopping within these bags. I also received quite a few compliments about how cute these bags look. It was my first time I didn't have to use those plastic bags for my fruit. Highly recommend to all!"
