    17 Sustainable Products That’ll Help You Become More Eco-Friendly

    It's time to start livin' responsibly, y'all.

    1. A set of reusable dishcloths that you can use to scrub your dishes *and* soak up spills of all kinds. They're also all-natural and biodegradable, so you can throw 'em in the compost bin when it's time to toss 'em.

    2. A pack of metal straws that'll help you avoid overusing disposable plastic ones (and dodge those nasty cardboard ones, too). Reviewers love that they come in multiple lengths and say they don't have a gross metallic taste, either.

    3. A pack of reusable cotton pads to fulfill your skincare duties without making too much waste. And the material is very soft, so it'll be gentle enough to use on sensitive skin.

    4. And a pack of makeup-removing cloths that'll wipe away all of your makeup with nothing but water. Since they can be washed and reused, they're a more sustainable alternative to makeup wipes.

    5. A pack of refillable Keurig pods if you're a daily coffee drinker who goes through tons of single-serve pods. These will a) help you save Mother Earth and b) cost you less moulah — who doesn't want that?

    6. A pack of washable squeeze pouches for yogurt, smoothies, baby food, and apple sauce. They're leakproof, which makes them perfect for little ones who like eating on the go.

    7. A reusable pet hair remover that's more eco-friendly than those sticky single-use rollers from the dollar store. It'll make cleaning the fur and dander off your couch way less daunting — and the back chamber can fit a surprising amount of fluff!

    8. A pack of biodegradable hair ties that won't slip, tug at your tresses, or leave creases 'n' dents in your 'do. Reviewers say they're strong and that they don't snap easily.

    9. A pair of mesh produce bags you can use to carry your fruits and veggies home from your local market. Reviewers love how they're chic and sustainable, and say they also make great beach bags (no more sand in your tote!).

    10. And a set of large reusable grocery bags so you can stop wasting extra cents on plastic ones and reduce your carbon footprint. They can fit a ton and they're foldable, too, meaning you can stash 'em in your trunk without taking up prime space.

    11. A pack of silicone lids that'll help keep your leftovers fresh, no matter what dish they're in. If you're still using cling wrap, it's time to swap it out for these handy-dandy reusable alternatives.

    12. A collapsible microwave popcorn bowl so you can make your fave snack any way you'd like (with extra butter, salt and pepper, hot spices, and so on). Now you'll no longer have to repurchase boxes of bagged popcorn.

    13. A pack of sealable silicone bags if you go through way more Ziploc baggies than you should. They're freezer-safe, too, so you can use 'em to keep things organized and prevent freezer burn.

    14. A pack of dishwasher-safe chopsticks so you won't have to use those wooden ones from your local sushi restaurant. They have a non-slip design, so your California rolls won't unexpectedly escape your grasp.

    15. A stainless steel Brita water bottle that'll filter your water with each sip, so you can refill it anywhere (and scrap plastic bottles for good). It'll also keep your aqua cold for up to 24 hours for some ice-cold hydration.

    16. A reusable smart notebook where you can write notes and scan them over to things like iCloud and Google Drive via the companion app. It'll help you save a ton of paper, and reviewers love how they no longer burn through regular notebooks anymore.

    17. And lastly, a Loch Ness Monster tea infuser that'll help you cut back on tea bags. Reviewers love how the material doesn't get rusty over time, and say it's a great conversation starter, too!
