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.

1. Shop local

Shop local – wherever you are – using the BigBarn Local Food Map. The virtual farmers’ market has been dubbed ‘the Amazon of local food’, and is helping to connect shoppers with their local suppliers.

2. Eco gift wrap

Choose Re-Wrapped’s recyclable gift wrap made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste unbleached pulp, and printed with environmentally friendly vegetable-based inks.

3. Natural beauty

If your skin’s suffering from the mix of central heating and cold weather, keep a tube of Weleda Skin Food with you at all times. This natural wonder balm will soothe and nourish dry, chapped skin – from fingers to toes.

4. Avoid waste and plastic

Avoid food waste over Christmas (and beyond!) with organic cotton food wraps from WaxWraps.

5. Plant a tree

If you’re about to buy a product you don’t really need, you can satisfy your craving (and save some money) by putting it back and planting a tree with TreeSisters instead!

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.
