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. Green power

Help power a cleaner, greener future for everyone with a renewable energy tariff from Good Energy, Britain’s only home energy supplier with B Corp certification.

2. Ethical coffee

Looking for an ethical coffee? Bird & Wild’s shade-grown organic, Fairtrade coffee helps native and migratory birds by protecting crucial habitats.

3. Clean pets

Steer clear from nasty ingredients when you groom your pets! The Conscious Way Pet Dog Wash is the first UK-made organic shampoo for dogs.

4. Gentle spirits

Give Christmas cocktails a twist with Arbikie’s Nàdar Gin – the world’s first climate-positive spirit. It’s made from peas, which are grown to fix nitrogen into the farm’s soil.

5. Gift a tree

Looking for a gift that gives? Mark any special occasion with the gift of a tree and a wooden decoration from 9Trees CIC.

Top 5 September 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.
