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 spending

Switch to Tred, the green debit card that analyses your spending so you can track, reduce and offset your carbon footprint.

2. Sustainable pet food

Cut your carbon pawprint with ‘the world’s most sustainable dog food’! Yora All Breeds is a balanced, hypoallergenic diet for adult dogs that harnesses the goodness of natural insect protein. Yora insect-based cat food is also available.

3. The reforesting coffee

Make a difference every morning with Puro Fairtrade and organic coffee. Every kilo sold protects 20m² of rainforest thanks to an exclusive relationship with World Land Trust, the UK-based land conservation charity of which Sir David Attenborough is a patron.

4. Get green energy

Trying to cut costs? Think about switching to a renewable energy tariff from Octopus Energy. There’s a very good chance you will save money on your energy bills.

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!
