eco- friendly products

I began looking for eco-friendly products while on the beaches of Greece surrounded by plastic waste. Then we traveled to truly remote destinations like Mozambique and Seychelles; however, the plastic hung around and I knew the world had to become more familiar with green products.

While the tourists may have remained in Greece, the plastic waste followed us. Now it’s all over the world. On every beach we visit, every mountain we climb, even in beautiful national parks, it’s the same story – plastic everywhere.

We are all guilty of littering at some point, even if not intentionally. It’s time that we do something and care for Mother Earth, letting us rent space and destroy her day by day. However, we don’t have to stand by and let the world go to crap; we can take measures to become environmentally friendly, starting with what we buy.

Read on for a great list of eco-friendly products to help you go green on your travels. Most of these environmentally friendly products are here to help reduce your waste and make simple purchase decisions. Most importantly, don’t just buy these items for needless consumerism; use them to replace everyday items once they’ve seen their lifetime.

What Is The Importance Of Eco Friendly Products?

We’re destroying the earth, and it’s something that can be prevented. We can all take small steps toward reducing our environmental footprint. Even as travelers, we use a plethora of eco-friendly products that can make a huge difference. When it comes to taking green initiatives, a great place to start is to reduce waste.

By 2050 the amount of plastic in the ocean will outweigh the fish in the ocean – that statistic is shocking. We all need to replace simple items we use in our everyday lives with environmentally friendly products to have a large impact.

Did you know? According to the World Wildlife Fund

• 90% of the world’s seabirds have fragments of plastic in their stomach.
• Only 9% of plastics are recycled around the world. The world needs more green products.
• It will take hundreds of years for a single piece of plastic to decompose, and then it will turn into a dangerous microplastic.
• 80% of ocean plastic originates on land. Then it enters our ocean through rivers and streams.

The Best Eco Friendly Products (Sustainable Products)

Starting off this list of eco friendly products are my favorite reusable bamboo utensils. Plastic utensils are not only terrible for the environment, but they are terrible for you too and are not at all earth friendly products.

Did you know that only 6% of all plastic can be recycled in the US? That’s an awful number, and I feel that if more people knew that, they would cut back on their plastic consumption and strive to become more eco-friendly.

On top of that, most plastic silverware is made with BPA, a chemical that is absolutely terrible for your health (scientists have found links to cancer). The first step towards more sustainable lifestyles and travel is with reusable utensils. That’s why we were so excited when we found the To-Go Ware RePEaT Reusable Bamboo Utensil!
