Maybe you’re new to green. Maybe you’ve been green for so long you can’t remember the last time you used a plastic straw or conventional cleaners. No matter what part of the journey you’re on, there’s always room to implement new, better, and more sustainable products and methods to your daily routine that will have Mother Earth offering up a stunning round of applause! Go team green!
PUR Home
Clean clothes with a clean conscience. What’s not to love about a company focused on sustainability? This BIPOC, female-owned brand prides itself on plant-based, Leaping Bunny certified ingredients and totally recyclable packaging. Free from SLS/SLES, synthetics, chlorine, petrochemical, optical brightener, or phosphates, the laundry detergent works just as well as conventional brands, is HE compatible, safe for septic systems, and uses essential oils. Phew! That’s some heavy laundry lifting! Check out the rest of PUR’s minimal home cleaning line, including their zero waste goodies! shoppurhome.com
Ulat
Forget those toxic-laden dryer sheets and rethink those rock-hard dryer balls! Ulat, creator of the original dryer balls (and the only patented wool dryer ball in the world that happens to be 100% Canadian—from ethically sourced Canadian wool to manufacturing, design, and distribution!), require just three dyer balls per load, making them not only more cost effective but also more sustainable (buh-bye excess packaging, product, and waste!) Beautifully designed, in a myriad of hues, Ulat’s giant, super-soft dryer balls will help clothes dry evenly, prevent wrinkles, and stop static cling! Dot the dryer balls with a few drops of their own lavender-geranium essential oil blend and take your laundry game next-level! ulat.ca
Earth Mama
Adorn your baby’s most tender parts with Earth Mama. USDA organic, Leaping Bunny certified, and EWG verified, both their Organic Baby Face Nose & Cheek Balm, and Organic Diaper Balm promise to keep your little one soft, supple, and chap-free! Plus, both products make excellent dry skin-relievers for the whole fam! earthmamaorganics.com
Mother Ease
If all-in-ones and fitted diapers had a baby, this would be it! Aptly called the Wizard Duo, these diapers make changes simply magical! Snap a full-sized insert into the liner, then snap out at change time and replace with a new insert! No fuss, no muss, no need for a ton of liners on hand: one can get you through the whole day, which means a pared-down wonder-system that both you and your babe will love! Inserts available in super-soft terry, and overnight-friendly stay-dry materials. mother-ease.ca
Miniware
Whether you’ve got school-bound littles or a babe at your hip, Miniware’s GroBento makes toting foods a breeze. Featuring a stainless-steel container with two durable, leakproof, 100% food-safe silicone pods that can hold anything from baby foods to salad dressings, you’ll have no trouble finding a use for this, like all the time! miniware.com
Sapadilla
From breakfast crumbs to after-dinner wipe downs, it can feel like we spend every waking moment cleaning our kitchen countertops! Make that time feel like stopping to smell the roses with Sapadilla! USDA certified biobased, US made, and biodegradable, Sapadilla uses 100% essential oils that imbue every swipe, wipe, scrub, and sud, with a little aromatic alchemy! From peppermint, to lavender, to spicy bergamot, Sapadilla makes sure every nook and cranny in your home smells as clean as it looks! sapadilla.com
Three Bluebirds
Ditch those plastic-based sponges and unsustainable paper towels and embrace the Swedish dishcloth, a multi-tasking hero! Made from 70% sustainably forested wood cellulose and 30% organic cotton, printed with water-based ink, and biodegradable (what?!), these tougher-than-nails-yet-totally-adorable dishcloths are up to whatever your kitchen can throw at them. Although not meant for the dryer, we can personally attest to their ability to stand up to couple of accidental high heat spins without losing their cheerful hues! Made in Germany in a fair-trade facility. threebluebirds.com
Pela
Fact: Most of us have cellphones. Also a fact: Most of us have cellphone cases, which are made of questionable plastics that end their useful lives languishing in a dump somewhere. While protecting our tech is a necessary, albeit, very un-green part of our lives, it no longer has to be. Meet Pela: a company committed to transparency in a greenwashed world. With compostable (yes, compostable!) phone cases made from biopolymers and Canadian Prairie flax shive, and the ability to fully compost in just 6 months, they’re the perfect cellphone soil-mate! (Psst! They’re also free of lead, cadmium, BPA, and phthalates.) And for you Apple diehards: Pela offers compostable air pod cases and watch straps that are both functional and totes cute! pelacase.com
