KEEP IT CLEAN: THE GREEN HOME STARTER SET

When we think of our role as consumers, the focus tends to be on how much “stuff” we can buy after covering our basic monthly living expenses and servicing our financial goals. But what if instead we chose to look at consumerism as a voting right. With this logic, every dollar we spend is like a vote cast for the kinds of products we want to see more of and the kinds of businesses we want to support.

We do our best to ensure the purchases we make for ourselves, our kids, and our homes cast a vote for a future wherein small businesses and Mother Nature thrive. Aside from holding our governments and big corporations accountable (that’s a blog post for another day), this is how we build a better future for our kids and also, save the planet. #nobigdeal

With that in mind, we’ve created this edit of household items that are locally sourced, ethically made and (of course) aesthetically pleasing. So – ready to go green? Let’s do it.

Kind Laundry Detergent Sheets
These detergent sheets (YES, you heard us right) are zero-waste and a safer laundry alternative to your traditional detergents, which not only come in bulky plastic jugs, but contain up to 20+ toxic ingredients. No thank you.

Eco Friendly Dish Sponges
These babes are not only natural and 100% biodegradable, but they also don’t have that cringe-worthy neon yellow look.

Solid Dish Soap Brick
This bar provides a fluffy lather that effectively cleans your dishes while remaining soft on your hands. All without plastic packaging and overwhelming artificial scents.

Natural All Purpose Cleaning Solution
Easy to use (just add water!) and safe to on any surface of your home, therefore replacing all those plastic spray bottles that are so easy to collect.

Mirror & Glass Cleaning Solution
If you like those reflections extra flawless, just add water to this solution and you’re ready to shine bright (like a diamond).

Glass Spray Bottle
For all said natural cleaning solutions with a non-slip removable silicone sleeve.

Midnight Solid Sponge Cloth
Paper towels are a thing of the past!
Soak up some crazy big spills with this super absorbent sponge cloth.

Wool Dryer Balls
Toss these guys in your dryer and reduce your energy use by at least 25%! The perfect all-natural way to eliminate static, decrease wrinkling and soften your clothes, all while saving time and money. And we like the sounds of that.

Laundry Stain Remover Bar
The same bar that nonna used for collars, cuffs, floors, and walls.

Beeswax Food Wrap Trio
See ya later, plastic wrap! There’s a new kid in town and it’s more beautiful and a lot less wasteful.
Bonus: the gorgeous patterns will actually elevate your kitchen vibe without trying.

Cotton Produce Bags
Use these pretty organic drawstring produce bags to store fruits and veggies so they stay protected and fresh! Plastic bags are so passé.
