Amazon has become an online marketplace for almost anything you could possibly think of. With millions of products, countless options, and fast shipping, everything is literally at your fingertips. Here are five sustainable things to buy on Amazon to make your life a little more earth friendly.
BAMBOO TOOTHBRUSH
So much of our lives and daily routines have plastic. But for most of these things, there are much more sustainable alternatives that can be used in place of plastic. Something as simple as switching out your plastic toothbrush for a BPA free bamboo toothbrush can start your day off sustainably.
12 pack for $8.99
REUSABLE COTTON ROUNDS
Most of our beauty routines require several cotton rounds a day. They come in large packs and we go through them pretty quickly. Now imagine reusable cotton pads that are just as clean, efficient, and easy, but with zero waste.
Bamboo Makeup Remover Pads - 16 pack $8.99
MASON JARS
You see them everywhere at a farmer’s market, primarily since they’re the most reusable choice for storing sauces, other liquids and enjoying delicious cold drinks. Mason jars are a more sustainable container, so stock up your cupboards and pantry.
Ball Jars, pint size - $22.73 for pack of 4
SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, SOAP BARS
Almost all of our beauty products come in plastic packaging. While many brands are working to create more sustainable packaging, why not ditch packaging altogether? Shampoo, conditioner, and soap bars make for a simple shower routine and are easy to travel with.
J.R. Liggett’s Old Fashioned Shampoo Bars - 3 pack $26.99
ECO-FRIENDLY TOTE BAGS
Tote bags are perfect for everything from grocery shopping to a beach day. They’re also cute, simple, and in fashion. Many are made of sustainable materials and come from sustainable brands.
