    If You’ve Been Looking For Ways To Live More Sustainably, Here Are 20 Products That Can Help

    Easy, effortless, eco finds.

    1. A five-pack of reusable, 100% cotton gift bags, because while it may be the most wonderful time of the year, it's also the time of the year with lots of paper waste. Wrapping presents in something cute and saving a bunch of trees? Now that's a gift that keeps on giving.

    2. A rechargeable lighter which will reignite your commitment to being eco-friendly every time you use it and remind you you aren't putting another Bic in the landfill. Plus, it's just more aesthetically pleasing!

    3. An assorted three pack of reusable beeswax food wraps so you can cut down on your plastic wrap usage. Use it on everything from those half avocados to freshly baked treats. Trust us, these are the bee's knees.

    4. A set of bar shampoo and conditioner that comes in 100% plastic-free packaging and is actually *perfect* for travel (and real life). Reviewers say these work equally as well as bottled soap and suds up just right to leave hair feeling clean and smooth! Way to raise the (shampoo) bar.

    5. A reusable swab meant to help cut down on your single-use waste but also just makes sense because who actually needs a box of 500 that all end up on the floor anyway? With this, you're one and DONE.

    6. A box of organic bamboo bandages because the thought of all those plastic Band-Aids in a landfill hurts way more than your paper cut. When your boo-boo is better, this biodegradable bandage can go right into your compost bin to become new soil.

    7. A surprisingly chic set of four glass food storage containers with bamboo lids if you feel like your head is gonna explode the next time you have to deal with another set of tomato sauce-stained plastic containers. These clean well, don't retain old leftover smells, and last for-ever.

    8. A reusable organic cone coffee filter that's coffee-snob-approved (see review below) and will make your morning brew even more java-mazing. After each use, just wash it with some hot water and it's ready to go for the next cup, and the next, and the next, and the... you get the point.

    9. A bulk bag of oxygen whitener, an all-natural, color-safe plant-based bleach alternative, that will keep your whites nice and bright and smelling like essential oils and not harsh chemicals. Smell ya later, bleach!

    10. A four-pack of all-natural, compostable toothbrushes for your littles, because the small changes we make today will actually make the biggest difference for them in the long run. It's a great way to be green while keeping those pearly whites bright.

    11. A tin of organic, zero-waste mint toothpaste tablets with fluoride, you'll love immediately because all you have to do is give these a crunch, wet your toothbrush, and get scrubbing! So fresh and SO clean.

    12. A pack of reusable makeup rounds that even come with a tiny laundry bag for washing them, because let's ~face~ it — you never liked the leftover fuzz on your face from the disposable ones, anyway.

    13. A pack of fragrance-free, plant-based laundry sheets because there's really no need to dirty up the planet every time you clean your clothes. You'll get up to 120 loads worth with just a tiny, space-saving box, too! No more getting hung out to dry by detergent prices.

    14. A set of 15 reusable food-grade silicone bags to eventually replace all the single-use plastic sandwich bags we all use just a little too much. Plus, we all know that sandwich bags aren't just for sandwiches, so you can use these for literally anything.

    15. A countertop compost bin that not only looks great but keeps the odor in so you can throw your food waste somewhere other than the trash. When this fills up, run it out to the big compost bin, then give it a quick wash, and it'll be good as new. The only thing that's dirty about this is the dirt you're returning to the earth — and that's pretty great.

    16. A three-pack of organic, reusable wool dryer balls, which help your clothes dry faster, soften your laundry, and reduce static cling — all without contributing to landfills. Who knew doing laundry could be such a ~ball~?

    17. A pack of 100% biodegradable straws made from vegetable fibers designed to feel like plastic — because sometimes you just miss a good old-fashioned plastic straw, amirite? It's okay, we all know the paper ones just aren't the same.

    18. An Avocado Eco Organic mattress, that's something you'll only purchase once in a blue moon, but you certainly won't lose any sleep over it. It meets tough requirements for how the materials are sourced, acquired, and produced to be certified as a 100% organic textile and organic latex product. So, you know you'll be catching some seriously clean Zzzzs with this baby.

    19. A two-pack of clear glass bottles if you want to say goodbye to neon chemicals in plastic containers forever and start making your own cleaning solutions. It's surprisingly easy and satisfying to mix your own cleaning potions... I mean, solutions.

    20. A 13-pack of reusable produce bags to not only show that you are totally legit in your efforts to be more eco-friendly but to also put an end to the tangle of plastic bags you have under your sink that you swear you're gonna use someday (spoiler: you're not).
