Eco-friendly gifts don’t have to break the bank. In fact, contrary to popular belief, many very sustainable things cost little to nothing (see: secondhand shopping, turning off lights, air drying clothes, using reusables, I’ll stop myself now).
So it’s true, you can share the gift of sustainability while on a budget. And to make it even easier for you, I’ve rounded up a few Christmas gifts under $30 from my favorite sustainable brands. What’s that? Oh it’s the sound of your wallet (and Mother Earth) thanking you.
