Reusable dishcloths
I love that with dishcloths and reusable towels I can replace disposable paper towels (fun fact: one Swedish Dishcloth can replace 17 rolls of paper towels!)

Glass spray bottles for DIY, nontoxic cleaner
Most, if not all, of the “natural” or “sustainable” cleaning products that are on the market are not great from an ingredients and packaging standpoint. That’s why I love to create my non-toxic cleaning products (check out my DIY recipe here) and use this beautiful glass spray bottle to keep my house squeaky clean!

French press
I make my own coffee at home using a french press — which not only eliminates the need for wasteful coffee filters, but it also helps me save money. See how I make hot coffee here or check out this post for my cold brew ice coffee recipe.

Wooden cutting board
I opt for biodegradable, wooden cutting boards. Bonus points if they’re made from reclaimed or recycled wood, like the ones we sell at Package Free! Psst. Keep your cutting board looking and feeling it’s best for years to come with a Cutting Board Conditioner. This also makes my home look really warm and they make me happy to look at.

Cast iron pan
I love my cast iron pan. It’s the best cookware, period. It is the safest, best investment, and most durable cookware around. That being said, it definitely needs some TLC. Check out this article to see how to properly clean your pan!

Cool down without heating up the planet by using plastic free, stainless steel ice trays, or with silicone ones that are backyard compostable once the product has been burned!

At this point, it’s pretty obvious that plastic straws suck. If you are going to sip, sip sustainability.

Compost bin
Composting is one of my biggest suggestions for something that you can do to have a more positive impact on the planet because it helps reduce landfill waste and methane emissions (learn more about methanes’ impact on the environment here). Curious about how to compost? Check out this article to learn more.

Kitchen utensils made from natural materials, like wood or bamboo, are durable and they look great!
