29 Eco-Friendly Products That Will Help You Save The Planet

Plastic is everywhere. It’s at the tip of your fingertips when you’re typing or when you’re holding your beloved toothbrush. We’re literally bombarded by its presence in our homes, our offices, and pretty much wherever we turn.

There’s no denying our impact on the planet—according to Eco Watch, we’ve produced more plastic in the last ten years than during the entirety of the last century. And half of the plastic we do use, we discard after only one use. This means that every day, millions of straws, plastic bags, and utensils are ending up in our landfills and oceans, destroying wildlife and polluting mother nature.

One of the best ways to fight this epidemic is by replacing some of the plastic products we already use by swapping them out for greener alternatives. We’ve put together a list of 32 environmentally-friendly products that will reduce your carbon footprint and help eliminate all those single-use plastic products you buy on the regular. While we can’t change the world overnight, making these small, simple changes to our own habits will make a difference in the long-term.

1. A Stylish Bag for the Environmentally Conscious

Just because you’re trying to save the world doesn’t mean you have to relinquish style! Swap out all those troublesome plastic bags for this sleek number.

Not only is it conveniently built for all your shopping needs, the bag’s large capacity and sturdy build makes it perfect for a day at the beach or that long overdue picnic. What’s not to love here?

2. Hydrate with this tough-as-nails water bottle.

Don’t be fooled by its sleek design—this eco-friendly water bottle is as tough as it is stylish. The Simple Modern Ascent Water Bottle also happens to have an insulated handle lid and a narrow mouth opening to reduce spills. Toss it in your gym bag or backpack without fear—it’ll go the distance.

3. Save the planet one straw at a time.

You’ve probably heard that plastic straws are on their way out (Seattle is the first major U.S. city to flat out ban them), but this doesn’t mean you have to give straws up altogether. Reusable options like stainless steel drinking straws can help curb our dependence on wasteful plastics and ultimately modify the way we consume.

These straws make a great replacement and are more durable (in my opinion) than the paper ones. Plus, they come with two cleaning brushes.
