Wait! What did I just buy??
- Groceries: Believe it or not the types of food we eat and who we buy them from has an impact on the environment. Buying meat is a good example. Our over indulgence in meats has led to a massive meat industry that is very destructive to our sustainability. For further reading on meat industry and sustainability you can check out this National Geographic article. Be your own judge. I think Nat Geo does reputable work. Beyond meat, there are many other foods and drinks that impact sustainability. At some point we will add a list of these items and their impacts.
- Clothing: Many clothing manufacturers pollute the environment by allowing chemical run-off from the manufacturing process to leach into water systems.
- Furniture: Similar to clothing the manufacturing process for furniture can lead to chemical by-products leaching into water systems and many unwanted goods end up in landfill.
- Anything plastic: Think about all the things we buy that contain plastic. It's hard to think of many products that don't contain some sort of plastic. The actual product may not be plastic but it was likely packaged in plastic.
Products we like
We use Dr. Bronner’s. It smells great and lasts forever. I feel much better having this soap run down the drain than the toxic alternatives. Click the image to go to Dr. Bronner’s

Hydro Flask® is a great product. Think of all the plastic bottles and tea or coffee cups you wont have to buy. Prices vary, but this particular one I think costs $30. Click the image to go to Hydro Flask's website

Coconut Bliss makes non-dairy frozen deserts. For those who love ice cream but need to adjust their sustainable habits, check out Coconut Bliss. We eat more of this than I will ever admit to : )

Yay thanks for stopping by! Coconut Bliss is my jam. I’m obsessed with the cookie sandwiches. It makes going vegan so easy and delicious 🙂
