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.

Top 5 June switches

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.

1. Plastic-free wraps

If you’re packing a picnic (or just saving some leftovers), try WaxWraps. The waxed organic cotton wraps are a reusable, eco-friendly alternative to single-use cling film.

2. Eco coffee cup

Make the most of the sunshine and get that coffee to go! The Huskup reusable coffee cup is made from rice husk, not plastic – so no melamine, plastic, BPA or toxins.

3. Garden skincare

If you’re working hard in the garden, make sure you look after your skin. Pure Lakes Hydrating Hand Balm is an easily absorbed balm that softens and repairs skin.

4. Get camping

This summer you could make money and hire out your tent, or save money and rent a tent! Tentshare works just like Airbnb, but for tents.

5. A family festival

Looking for a family-friendly festival set in a beautiful location? Valley Fest has it all – from arts and music to the very best food and first-class fun.
