There are a myriad of things we can do in trying to become more sustainable and eco-friendly! We dive into it more deeply in our weekly How to be Eco series. But this week’s FLAURA 5 is dedicated to 5 everyday items we can swap out for more sustainable alternatives.
Here At FLAURA, our coverage of products is highly selective and curated with our mission in mind. If you choose to buy any of the linked items, we may earn an affiliate commission. You can learn more here.
Bamboo Toothbrush
Swap out a plastic toothbrush for a biodegradable bamboo toothbrush. We love this one from PearlBar (sold at FreePeople). Along with lasting up to 3 months and breaking down in 6, it's vegan, cruelty-free and non-GMO.
Tote Bag
Ditch the plastic bags on your next grocery run and remember to take your tote with you. This tote from UO is big enough to store all your shopping essentials and manages to be stylish at the same time.
Biodegradble Straws
Plastic straws are long gone, but re-usable straws can be such a pain. Enter these eco-friendly, biodegradable and compostable grass straws from Huski. Drink all your favourite summer cocktails without feeling guilty about harming the environment.
Menstrual Cup
A more eco-friendly alternative to disposable tampons and pads is the menstrual cup. This cup from BeYou can be worn for up to 12 hours and can last you years.
Reusable Bottle
We're learning to shun single-use plastic water bottles and we hope you are too. Use this gorgeous metal bottle from Ted Baker instead - pop it in your bag when you're ready to head out and be happy in knowing you're saving the environment from another harmful plastic bottle.
