Looking to add some Earth-friendly brands to your routine? Here are a few to get you started. And keep in mind, you don’t need any of these to go green — so just consider these cool swaps when the time comes to replace items in your day-to-day life.
Allbirds
With Allbirds, you can feel really good about what’s on your feet. Choose between styles made from eucalyptus trees or merino wool (pictured here) and hit the road. A new plant-based leather option is launching in December 2021.
By Humankind
Green-up your personal care routine with refillable products from By Humankind. The brand offers bar cleansers, refillable deodorant, solid toothpaste and more.
David's Toothpaste
This toothpaste comes in a recyclable metal tube (and cool key to squeeze everything out). It's also made with natural ingredients, like activated charcoal and peppermint oil.
Stasher Bags
I have a lot of love for these reusable bags. Use them for everything from snacks to cords to beauty products. (They are our go-to at Jones Road!)
Bee's Wrap
These reusable beeswax coated wraps can be used for storing everything from bread to cheese. Just wash in cold water and reuse.
Girlfriend Collective
You probably know this brand for their leggings made with recycled water bottles, but they're taking the plastics issue a step further by offering a Microfiber Filter. You can attach this to your washing machine to help filter out microcplastics.

Made in Normand, France, these sustainable knit bags are perfect for running errands, heading to the beach, or even a night out.
