Make Every Day Greener With These Cool Earth-Friendly Products In 2020

February 2, 2021

With Earth day around the corner it is the perfect time to think about making every day greener by getting into the habit of using environmentally friendly products and materials each and every day. It is the perfect way to bring awareness and reduce our carbon footprint and help us uphold our role as keepers of the planet and its water. Even the smallest of gestures can add up and make a huge impact on the environment….whether it be that you are choosing to use recycled goods, use natural cleaning products, or finding ways to ditch plastic products and bags and instead buying reusable items (or biodegradable ones) made with sustainable, all natural materials. Every little thing that we do every day adds up and it all makes a huge impact.

This shopping list of cool, resuable eco-friendly products that I have fallen in love with will help you to ditch the plastic baggies and packaging, clean with the power of probiotics, stay warm with recycled products made in the USA and more — all in the name of being more environmentally friendly.

1) Sukk Stainless Steel Extendable Drinking Straws

Sukk offers your need for a straw in a sustainable, compact and awesome kind of way and I love these! Sukk Stainless Steel Extendable Drinking Straws are made with food grade stainless steel and are oxidation free, dishwasher safe, virtually unbreakable, and retractable and extendable to fit any size glass or cup. Each Sukk Straw comes with a Vegan Leather Carry Case and all Sukk Straw orders are shipped in 100% compostable shipping bags as they care about sweet Mother Earth! 

2) VEO Active-Probiotics Surface Cleaner

Change the way you clean with VEO Active-Probiotics Surface Cleaners. VEO uses the cutting-edge science for a deeper, long-lasting clean like you’ve never seen before. With VEO Active-Probiotics you will go microscopically clean as the active-probiotics help to biodegrade the dirt and grime whenever you use it and it provides up to 3 days of surface protection.

Check out this video which show you more on this new revolutionary way to clean.

3) Jack & Mary Designs Go USA Mittens

Jack & Mary makes artfully crafted accessories from recycled sweaters and each and every item on their site is fabulous! I fell in love with the fact that their gorgeous products are made from recycled sweaters and most especially because they are crafted right here in the USA in Maine! They have a selection of products ready to purchase and they also have a REWEAR shop which is perfect for anyone that has a drawer full of sweaters that they do not wear anymore OR that maybe you have a snag in. If this applies to you then you can take advantage of Jack & Mary Designs REWEAR shop and instead of tossing your old sweaters out…. you can send them to Jack & Mary Designs and they will recycle your old sweaters into beautiful mittens and more!

I picked up a pair of Jack & Mary Designs Go USA Mittens as I have a Navy Wool Peacoat that I knew these would be perfect for and with my growing up in a huge military family, I always love wearing anything Red, White & Blue!

These gorgeously crafted mittens went well above my expectations! These are crafted beautifully and I will cherish them forever! These Jack & Mary mittens are created from recycled wool sweaters, lined with cozy fleece and finished with a button. The wonderful mittens are extremely cozy and warm and are the perfect size for a females hands. 

4) Lotus Trolley Bags 

Here in New York plastic bans are banned as of March 1st 2020 and all of last year you had to purchase the plastic bags if you used them and I am truly loving this as it is helping to eliminate all of those plastic bags that end up everywhere…even in our oceans. In comes Lotus Trolley Bags as they are the perfect reusable shopping bag for your grocery shopping needs or any of your shopping needs honestly.

I love that the Lotus Trolley Produce Bags are ultra light and color coded, food safe, BPA FREE, durable and machine washable.

    The Zac reusable water bottle sounds like something I’d use a lot. I’m intrigued by the stainless steel straws. I wonder if they’re any kind of menace to the teeth.

    These look like a bunch of great ideas. I think I am going to have to break down and get the stainless steel straw. I will just have to constantly remind myself to carry it with me.

      Karen the benefits are the probiotics keep cleaning for up to 3 days PLUS they eat the dirt and grime deep in the groove sunlike traditional cleaners….even cleaners with bleach! Of… and it is biodegradable and sustainable meaning it is not bad for the planet and water supply.

    Great tips! My family and I are working on reducing our waste as well, I already was using only washable containers for my kids lunches and now we’ve switched to reusable water bottles only vs buying them, and have stopped using plastic bags from the store. It has already made a big noticeable different in the amount of waste we produced.
