There’s a sustainable alternative to just about anything, and these five ethical products and services are simple switches that would make a big difference – and could save you some cash along the way.
Calculate the carbon footprint of your banks, pensions and bills and switch to a greener solution using the MotherTree switching service.
Swap bottled for filtered water to save cash as well as single-use plastic. The Coldstream Undercounter Water Purification System provides great-tasting water straight from your tap.
Each KIND2 Solid Shampoo Bar is equivalent to two bottles of liquid shampoo – but without the single-use plastic packaging!
Forget cut flowers wrapped in plastic cellophane – grow your own stems to bring into the house (or leave in the garden). Created by conservation scientists, Seedball takes the hassle out of growing bee- and butterfly-friendly wildflowers.
Honest Supplies offers generous rolls of triple-quilted, plastic-free and 100% recycled toilet paper, ethically made in the UK.
These superstar products and services are ethical alternatives from companies that are doing things differently. You may not have heard of all these green pearls, as they’re from companies that don’t necessarily spend their profits on mass advertising or negotiating the cut-rate bulk deals that would get them onto supermarket shelves.
