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. Take an eco break

Need some sustainable holiday inspo? Lonely Planet’s Flight-Free Europe is the ultimate guide to slow travel, ethical adventure and
mindful exploration.

2. Plastic-free deo

Tackle plastic pollution and treat your skin at the same time with Pit-Tastic! natural deodorant. It’s fully biodegradable – from wrapper to bar.

3. Beat the bites

Whether you’re heading to the sun or staying in the UK this summer, incognito Natural Insect Repellent will help to deter biting insects – without using Deet.

4. Green your cash

Switch to a bank that will only ever invest your cash in good causes. Triodos only lends money to people and organisations making a positive impact – culturally, socially and environmentally.

5. Secondhand made easy

Sick of ploughing through lots of secondhand websites to find the things you need? Rumage will search across all the sites it’s connected to, then deliver a wide set of results in one go.

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.
