Stainless Steel Water Bottle w/ Insulating Cover/Clips

First to recommend

Description

Around the urban homestead and around town, all of us carry these tough but lightweight, stainless steel water bottles everywhere we go. Forget one-time-use plastic water bottles. Instead, clip a refillable, non-toxic metal water bottle onto your belt loop or strap it on your bicycle for hands-free convenience.

Peddler's Wagon Sport Solar Oven

First to recommend

Description

Jules built his first solar oven in 1995 and the family has been cooking with the sun’s free energy ever since. Solar cooking retains vitamins and minerals, and there’s no need to worry about burning the food! Keep the heat out of the kitchen and enjoy tasty meals cooked by the sun. We like the Sport Solar Oven because it is lightweight and fits two pots at one time. The ovens are made by the Solar Oven Society, a non-profit group that promotes solar cooking to the over 2 billion people worldwide who lack adequate fuel for cooking their food.

Peddler's Wagon Cloth Tote Bags

First to recommend

Description

Anaïs totes these all-purpose cloth bags with her as she does her bulk shopping for groceries and deliveries of organic produce from the family’s garden to local restaurants and caterers. Providing your own reusable bags is a small, easy thing you can do to make a real, positive impact on the environment—and feel good while doing it. So show your green credentials. Say “no thanks” to both paper and plastic and BYOB instead.

Not the most glamorous product out there, but this might be the simplest step to change the world by answering nature’s call the green way—without felling more trees. Seventh Generation’s bathroom tissue is 100% recycled with a minimum of 80% post-consumer materials and whitened without chlorine bleach. Imagine the difference you could make over your lifetime by using just this one product!

Dr. Bronner - Castile Soap Peppermint

25 people recommended this item

Description

Jordanne grew up with Dr. Bronner’s soaps and would read the eco-manifesto printed on the bottle while she had her hair washed in the tub. The soaps are now organically certified and the ingredients obtained through fair trade arrangements. Plus the packaging is post-consumer recycled.

Peddler's Wagon Sun Mar Garden Composter 200

First to recommend

Description

Our homestead’s garden creates a lot of green waste, which can be turned into natural fertilizer to produce a bountiful harvest. Compost happens, but we help it along with this rotating drum composter. Take the chore out of composting and give this a spin!

Peddler's Wagon Newspaper PotMaker

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

A great way to recycle newspaper and make biodegradable pots for starting seeds, the newspaper PotMaker provides a low tech alternative to wasteful, disposable plastic pots. Without disturbing the roots of your seedlings, you can simply transplant the entire pot into the soil. A fun way to introduce kids to gardening, too!

Burt's Bees Very Volumizing Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

When we don’t have time to make our own personal care products, we buy from Burt’s Bees because the company uses safe, natural ingredients and recycled materials in their packaging. We especially like the Very Volumizing Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo for washing our hair in our outdoor solar shower that drains to water surrounding landscape plants. Natural products for a natural lifestyle.

GSI Vortex Blender

First to recommend

Description

Anaïs uses the “unplugged” homestead kitchen as a gym, and one of her favorite workout machines is the hand crank blender. She gets her exercise and we eat well, too! The manual action reduces noise pollution—no high pitched whine like electric blenders. The hand crank blender is also handy to take camping or on a picnic to serve up drinks.
