If you’re looking to make some sustainable swaps here are some of my favorites!

  1. Reusable Water Bottle

Any reusable water bottle is great but I have been loyal to my Hydroflask since they became trendy a few years ago. They are a bit of an investment. But the quality is amazing, and they last for so long!

2. Tote Bag

Any kind will work, but my personal favorite is my Stoney Clover Ln x Target collapsable bag. It’s so cute but also incredibly spacious and reusable! I also love that it folds up into a little pouch, super convenient for shopping trips. Screen Shot 2022 04 21 at 10.36.38 AM

Any kind available is amazing but here are my favorites from Amazon! I LOVE the iridescent colors.

4. Bamboo Utensils

Every alternative for plastic or one-use items will work but these are my favorite bamboo reusable ones, the quality is amazing and they have lasted for so long! I love that they come compact ready for on the go use, super helpful for lunch stops to avoid plastic one use utensils.

5. Reusable Plastic Bags

These Stasher bags are my favorite alternative for one use plastic bags. They are the best way to transport snacks!

It can be difficult to make sustainable choices during the times of Covid, but every small choice that you make has an impact and every small swap matters! Have a happy and healthy Earth Day :)
