Brita Deluxe Pitcher

10 people recommended this item

Description

I love my Brita Pitcher. First, you get free water all the time. It tastes good, and you're not wasting all that plastic on single-use plastic bottles. I also like how you can fill it up and bring it with you - I often bring it with me outside on the patio so I can fill up with reading or relaxing. Great buy and ideal for going green in your house!

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

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Great for when you want to save your plastic bags but don't want to sacrifice an entire area for it. This holds all your bags from a giant shopping trip, until you decide to go back to the store and reuse them. Also great for reminding you to take your plastic bags to the grocery store where they have the bins to recycle them in. Space saver - hangs on a wall so no shelf space needed! One of those things you never knew you needed until you have it : )

The Get Clean Deluxe Kit

First to recommend

6 people recommended this item

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.
