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.
With a ‘Kitchen Passport’ from The Used Kitchen Company, you can help to ensure your kitchen is used and loved again – instead of ending up in landfill.
Weleda Calendula Shampoo & Body Wash is 100% certified natural, and part of Weleda’s award-winning baby care range. It’s also great for bigger kids and adults – helping you cut down on the number of products you need (and the waste you generate) at home.
Switch your home to a renewable energy supply from Octopus Energy. As well as sleeping better at night, you’ll almost certainly be rewarded with cheaper energy bills.
If dairy features in your diet, make sure it’s the best you can get. Yeo Valley is ‘100% Yeorganic’ – organic and then some. Try the Vanilla Ice Cream – it’s indulgent and goes with just about anything.
Planning (or hoping) to get away this summer? Pack light with incognito 3-in-1 Suncream, Insect Repellent and Moisturiser. It’s as useful in the UK as is it is abroad!
Whether you want to enjoy the sunshine or start a new project, switching to these products and services will make a difference.
We’ve hand-picked this selection of My Green Pod Heroes to show you that conscious living doesn’t need to mean compromising on quality or luxury.
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.
