Being environmentally friendly can sometimes feel like a chore since it means going the difficult route. Instead of disposable plates and cutlery, you’re stuck using real dishes and silverware, which means washing them instead of tossing them afterward.
But knowing that we are doing our part for the environment by using sustainable products makes all the extra effort totally worth it.
Using Sustainable Products
By going green, we:
Save the planet, one coffee cup at a time: Don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution! By grabbing a reusable coffee cup instead of disposable cups every time you order from your favorite coffee shop, you’re helping to avoid turning the Earth into a giant trash bin.
Invest in long-lasting products: Sure, investing in eco-friendly products costs a bit more upfront, but you’ll get your money’s worth since these products will last longer than your last relationship.
Get Mother Nature’s approval: If winning over your mom is a lost cause, make Mother Nature your biggest fan by using sustainable products!
Reduce and Reuse: It’s an easy mantra that you can repeat every time you manage to rescue something from ending up in a landfill somewhere.
Waste Less: Using sustainable products means less waste and more time for the important stuff—like binge-watching your favorite TV show instead of hauling trash bags to the chute or dragging bins to the curb!
Embracing sustainability doesn’t mean we must give up the comforts we are already used to. We need to reduce our waste and be smart with our purchases, like switching to buy these sustainable products instead.

Food Storage Bags
If you frequently find rotten fruits or vegetables inside your refrigerator, it’s time to purchase these food storage bags. Not only are you helping in reducing waste, but you’re helping your wallet too—no more buying lettuce every other day just to watch it wither away before you can make that salad!
Bamboo Fabric Bandages
These bandages are an environmentally friendly alternative to the usual plastic and fabric bandages that we are used to using for our cuts and wounds. By purchasing these bandages from the aptly named brand FEBU (For Earth. By Us), you not only keep your wound free from bacteria but also contribute to saving our planet.

BLUELAND Clean Home Kit
Buy once, refill forever! Buy the bottles of natural all-purpose kitchen and bathroom cleaner and foaming hand soap from the BLUELAND store and just buy the tablets for refills after. Fill the reusable bottle with water, drop the tablet and voila! You already have an all-purpose cleaner or hand soap minus the unnecessary waste.
Disposable Gloves
If you prefer to use gloves to clean or do any of your household chores and you feel guilty when you throw them after they become soiled, buy gloves that are biodegradable instead. With that, you wouldn’t feel badly about using and disposing of them since they’re eco-friendly.
Compostable Liner Bags
Reduce your food waste by keeping these scraps in these compostable liner bags.

The company who developed these bags are also members of different organizations and councils promoting sustainability.
