Description
Free water that tastes better than tapwater and won't choke the planet with plastic bottles -- win win for you purse, your tastebuds, your planet.
I keep one on my desk at work, and fill re-usable bottles out of it when I'm heading off to each my lunch on the front lawn. (via Yournewbestfriend)

Chico Bag Reusable Shopping Bags
16 people recommended this item
Description
I use my chico bag all the time. it scrunches up so easily to fit in its pouch, so you can throw it into your purse and keep it in there until the next time someone tries to give you a ghastly plastic bag. Perfect for me because I'm always forgetting to bring my resusable bags with me to the store, but this one is already in my purse! Its very strong and durable, too.

Klean Kanteen with Loop-Top Cap
3 people recommended this item
Description
With the current BPA in plastics scare and our observable wasteful use of one-time use water bottles, reusable bottles made from metal are a hot item for those wanting to go green. Klean Kanteens don't have any baked-on lining, so absolutely nothing is seeping into your water. It is made from pure stainless steel and leaves no metally taste at all. I carry mine with me everywhere I go, and most places will fill it up for free (like Starbucks!) which means no more buying bottled water. Save money and the environment with this bottle. Great for traveling, camping, and daily use!

Bodum 16 oz Stainless-Steel Travel Mug
First to recommend
Description
Environmentally friendly, fits in your cup holder, and looks sleek on your desk. This mug keeps your drinks warm for hours. A great way to save the planet by bringing your posh looking Bodum travel mug to the coffee shop rather than using a cup. A must for any coffee or tea drinker, and a great gift for any you know without one! Reduce your carbon footprint by refusing disposable coffee cups, one travel mug at a time!

Stainless Steel Two-Compartment 30-Liter Recycling Bin
First to recommend
Description
This in-home recycling bin makes it all easier. One compartment for trash and one for recycling. Or one for paper and one for plastic. It is the perfect companion for your newly earth friendly home. The bins don't fill up too quickly either because they are large, which is good because recycling bins seem to always be too small.

Mr. Coffee Basket-style Reusable Coffee Filter
First to recommend
Description
These reusable coffee filters do so much for your coffee life, while costing only $12.00! It makes the coffee taste better (I swear), I no longer have grounds in my coffee, and most importantly I am not wasting a coffee filter everyday! Dishwasher safe and easily hand washed, buying a reusable coffee filter is an investment that will last for years.

Cuisinart Gold Tone Reusable Coffee Filter
First to recommend
Description
I use this but the basket style filter. All in all, reusable filters make my coffee taste better and reduce the amount of coffee grounds in my brew! I hand wash it and put it in the dishwasher every once in a while, and its going on 9 months strong. Also, you'll help the environment by stopping using those one-time-use paper filters that are overly wasteful, anyways. A great product at a great price!

Plastic Grocery Bag Holder
3 people recommended this item
Description
Although I'm trying my best to avoid plastic bags, they still accumulate. This seems like a good way to control the almost unavoidable Magazine wrappers and newspaper bags.Hopefuly reusable bags will continue to catch on. Although there is a population that is conscientious, I still see loads of plastic in the grocery stores.

Description
Get Clean is an awesome line of cleaning products! It really gets stuff clean and give that sparkly clean feeling. I am a big fan of eco cleaning products but this one is my new favorite. Not as perfume ridden like Mrs. Meyers and not so darn trendy like Method.
