For Blueland, “cleaning up our planet starts with cleaning our homes.” Their mission is to reduce the number of single-use plastic containers we use daily.

Blueland’s formulas are effective and made to meet strict safety criteria for human and environmental health.
The Blueland essential kit “Saves money and space, without the plastic waste.” To make each product, you add water to the reusable ‘Forever Bottle’ and drop in the tablet of non-toxic concentrated cleaning ingredients. Their essential kit comes with 3 color-coded reusable cleaning bottles, 1 reusable hand soap bottle and 4 tablets (Multi-Surface, Glass + Mirror, Bathroom, Foaming Hand Soap).

Plastic Free Shop Zero Waste Kits
Package Free is a one stop shop for zero waste versions of everyday essentials. From beauty and cleaning to pet and baby products they'’re making sustainable, non-toxic, and plastic free products more convenient and affordable. Their mission is to make the world less trashy.

Reducing your consumption of plastic and landfill waste is a powerful way to tackle our planet’s most pressing issue: climate change.
By 2050, it is estimated that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by weight. From toothbrushes to pet products, they source products that eliminate plastic from all parts of our daily routines.

Connected Goods
Connected Goods is one of our favorite resources for goods that are made by hand with love. They’ve been working with artisans around the globe who have mastered their craft through tradition and culture.

We have combined our historic Fair Trade items with locally sourced, American Made items to provide a healthy and flavorful blend of culturally rich craftsmanship, which represents the best of the artisan whose work is a labor of empowerment, not of servitude.
You’ll find many great gifts from candle sticks to storage baskets to thoughtfully crafted everyday cleaning supplies.
Pictured is one of our favorite items - their beautiful birch and horsehair everyday dish brushes to replace synthetic plastic sponges that never decompose.
Linoto House Helper Treeless Linen Towels
Linoto makes 100% Belgian linen sheets, table linens, curtains and towels of luxury quality that are priced affordably. Linoto’s premium quality eco-linen is from one of the oldest, most venerable mills in Europe. Master weavers select only the finest quality long-staple flax fibers. Flax grows naturally and requires no additional water other than rainwater, making it the most eco-friendly fabric. Because it's a natural fiber, flax linen is recyclable and biodegrade. The whole flax plant can be used, leaving no waste.
Linoto products are lovingly made in their workshop in Westchester County New York with exceptional craftsmanship. Once items are hand cut and sewn, they are washed with non-toxic natural laundry soap and shipped in plastic free recycled packaging.
As part of Linoto's Zero Waste Program initiative, these Treeless Linen Towels are made from the unusable sections from linen products. These towels are strong, absorbent and incredibly useful household helpers that can be used for everything from drying dishes, cleaning up spills, drying fruits and vegetables or pet baths. The towels are an eco-friendly and economical paper towel alternative made entirely from biodegradable natural linen. Consider that the average household spends $250-$300 per year on paper towels which contributes to the destruction of more than 50,000 trees per day. Here are just a few of the uses:

Plantpaper Toilet Paper

PlantPaper is here to change that. Plant Paper is tree-free and toxin-free, made from fast growing FSC-certified bamboo.
PlantPaper is derived exclusively from fast-growing, renewable sources of plant pulp. It requires less processing and no harsh chemicals or bleach, making it softer on you and the environment.
