EASY ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS TO ADD TO YOUR ROUTINE

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the average
American produced around 4.9 pounds of waste each day in 2018. That's over 1,700
pounds of waste per year. While food makes up 22% of that, plastic is another
huge culprit and accounts for more than 12%.

Whether you're simply curious about eco-friendly items or ready to completely
overhaul your home with sustainable products, thinking about how we shop is a
great place to start. Simple changes like replacing disposable items with
reusable alternatives and supporting brands that source their products
sustainably are just some of the ways you can help make a change.

To make it easier, Yahoo   contributing editor Chassie Post joined the show to
share eight eco-friendly products for every area of your life. From cleaning
essentials to nail polish, these sustainable and reusable items will help you be
a little greener this year.

GOODBYE DETERGENT HEAVY-DUTY SPAGHETTI CORN SCRUB


HEAVY-DUTY SPAGHETTI CORN SCRUB

$9.99
$12.99
Primary Group

Unlike sponges, which need to be replaced every few weeks, this unique scrubber
is built to last. The eco-friendly cleaning tool is made from cotton and corn
cobs, which give it a slightly coarse texture that makes it tough on stains. The
scrub is versatile and can be used to clean heavy-duty items, like metal and
cast-iron pans. It can last up to six months and can be thrown in the dishwasher
whenever it needs to be cleaned.


GOODBYE DETERGENT ALL-PURPOSE SPAGHETTI SCRUB


ALL-PURPOSE SPAGHETTI SCRUB

$10.95
Amazon
$9.99
$12.99
Primary Group

For a more general cleaning solution, try the brand’s All-Purpose Spaghetti
Scrub, made from cotton and peach pits. Abrasive enough to be used on tough
stains, yet gentle enough for everyday cleaning tasks, these are great for
dishes or cookware and on wood, plastic and glass surfaces. Both come in 100%
recycled packaging for reduced waste all around.


FINALSTRAW


FINALSTRAW

$19.95
Amazon
$19.95
Target
$19.95
Final

Thankfully, many restaurants and coffee shops have stopped using plastic straws.
But the paper versions they've replaced them with aren't actually that
functional: They get soggy after sitting in your drink for just a few minutes.
The solution? A reusable metal straw that can be taken anywhere. This one from
Final is collapsible, so it can fit on your keychain. It comes with a brush for
easy cleaning and you can choose between a range of fun colors for both the
straw and the cute carrying case.


FINALSPORK


FINALSPORK

$29.95
Amazon
$29.95
REI
$29.95
$34.95
Final

Say goodbye to plastic cutlery with the FinalSpork. Equally as portable as the
straw, you’ll never be stuck having to use plastic utensils for takeout again.
Part fork, part spoon, you can eat everything from ice cream to noodles with the
handy utensil.

IBI SLIP-ON

Cariuma was founded by two longtime footwear industry executives who came
together to create a more eco-friendly sneaker. The result is a sneaker line
made from natural materials in ethical factories. The brand's IBI Slip-On has
the lowest carbon footprint of any sneaker and is made with sustainably
harvested bamboo and recycled plastics. Plus, the stylish shoes feature a memory
foam insole, so they're just as comfortable as they are earth-friendly. And be

express shipping.


AERIE REAL GOOD SWIM


AERIE REAL GOOD SWIM

$29.95

Just in time for pool season, you can stock up swimwear while still maintaining
a focus on sustainability with Aerie’s Real Good Swim collection. All the suits
in the collection are made in part with recycled nylon. And there are plenty of
trendy designs and colors to choose from to fit any style.


NAILTOPIA PLANT-BASED BIO-SOURCED CHIP-FREE NAIL LACQUER


PLANT-BASED NAIL LACQUER

$10.00

$10.00

Plant-based and cruelty-free, Nailtopia’s polishes will be your new go-to for
at-home manicures. The Nail Lacquers are made with real fruits and vegetables,
which deliver a mix of vitamins and minerals to nourish nails and provide
long-lasting color.
