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.
Save packing space and the planet this summer with incognito’s Second Skin Suncream – a tri-action sunscreen, insect repellent and moisturiser for use at home and abroad.
Slow down for an ethical adventure this summer: Flight Free Europe is Lonely Planet’s first guide dedicated to no-fly travel, featuring 80 inspiring, hand-picked itineraries to explore by train, boat, bike or foot.
Unlock radiant skin this summer with GinGingers Apple Cider Vinegar Gel – a multipurpose natural skincare gel to balance pH, tone, moisturise and much (much) more.
Readers in Norfolk and Suffolk can switch to organic veg boxes packed with seasonal, local produce from Goodery.
Put an end to unwanted presents (and waste): you can mark any special occasion with the gift of a tree and a wooden decoration from 9Trees CIC.
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.
We think that if you don’t know the real options, you don’t really get to choose. Click here to view our full range of My Green Pod Hero products and services, in sectors ranging from Money and Energy to Health and Beauty.
