The stainless steel lunch carrier contains two compartments, so you can separate your foods. The handle makes it easy to carry, and you’ll be able to use it for years.
The reusable utensils are made of bamboo and have been sustainably harvested. I like how they come inside their own carrying case to keep them clean.

I was shocked at the low price. These are on sale right now for $8.99.
Before I buy something, I’m often wondering how much use my [...]

Although this children’s cooking set is not entirely wood, it seems to fit best in that category. The spoons and lid are wood and the entire set involves no plastic.
Our little one used these pots and pans outside where we were served “grass soup” and “pancakes” by our budding little chef. During a long car [...]

My friend wrote to say that she ordered a steel container online to keep from using so much plastic. She received the small item in a gigantic box. The item was wrapped in hard plastic and then a warranty tag was inside the bottle inside a plastic baggie. Ack! The subject of reducing packaging waste [...]

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to see the stainless steel Fogo children’s nonplastic up in action while I visited friends in Chicago. (What a cool town!) The Fogo Leak-Proof Bottle in pink
blue is made by the Thermos company and comes with a straw, so it’s perfect for older children ready to move beyond [...]

Finally! This eco-fashion web site offers up a variety of good-looking green clothing with shape.
So much “green” fashion includes shapeless clothing made of fabric that droops and drags. I found it refreshing to find this skirt.
As my grandmother would say, “this skirt is different.” I almost want to dislike it because it’s so unusual — [...]

This no plastic bracelet is right up my alley. The beads are made from eco-friendly cornstarch-based resin with a dye made from natural herb tea. The recycled brass charm is the word “plastic” in a circle with a line to cross out the word. Even the card that comes with the bracelet is 100% post-consumer [...]

I nearly fell off my chair when I discovered these beautiful handmade wood sunglasses at this green and fashionable store. When I clicked on the accessories button and discovered the sunglasses, I figured they’d be made of plastic. I was already wondering how the store would spin using plastic and if they’d use recycled plastic [...]

My goal with this website is to provide information on hip, attractive and even beautiful reusable and nonplastic items that you can use in your everyday life.
These glass storage containers fill a need for a nonplastic alternative to food storage. When I think of that plastic leaching into my food, I get the creeps.
I like [...]

Parents have asked me what nonplastic dishes they can use with their child, who still throws bowls and plates on the floor. If your child is not ready for ceramic plates and bowls, you can use steel.
These stainless steel bowls can work as mixing bowls or serving bowls. The smaller bowls can also be used [...]

I’ve been looking for moderately priced bags to use for our many visits to the grocery store. For us, visting the grocery is a daily venture.
Sure, I can buy some ugly store-sponsored bags from my local health food store for $1, but I want some that look, well, pretty. These attractive bags caught my eye. [...]

Reusable Bags is one of my favorite places to shop for earth-friendly products. I’ve bought SIGGs and Klean Kanteens here. Their customer service is excellent. My products arrived within a week, and they sent a survey afterwards to solicit my feedback. I am having a problem with a Kleen Kanteen they sent me, and I [...]

These polypropylene bags from Go-Again have comfortable handles and are roomy enough for lots of groceries. I like these shorter bags because it prevents too many groceries from stacking up and crushing what’s beneath them. I also like the stiff sides of the bag, which helps to keep items in place (so your apples do [...]
