October 6, 2021

It’s a common misconception that what's sustainable for the planet is not sustainable for your wallet. But I'm here with some good news for you—that's not always true. Sure, earth-friendly clothing brands may rock a few more dollar signs, and laundry ...

Susty gifts for your foodie friend 👩‍🍳⁣ Susty gifts for your foodie friend 👩‍🍳⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ @imperfectfoods groceries: any gift that helps fight food waste is a win in my book. Plus you’re not just giving the gift of food, you’re giving the gift of not having to go to the grocery store every week, which is top tier.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Cook book from @PlantYou: As a beginner plant-based eater, I absolutely love all the tips and recipes that Carleigh shares on her social media pages, so I can only imagine that her book is packed with even more plant-based goodness.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ A nice apron: I feel like aprons are nice to have, but not something people would go out of their way to buy for themselves, which is why I think they make great gifts. Check out @tenthousandvillages or @shopearthhero for sustainable options.⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ A cute thrifted mug (or 2!) and some tea or coffee. For planet-friendly tea I swear by @arborteas. I don’t have a go-to coffee brand I love bc I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but I’ve heard good things about @blkandbold and @equalexchange.⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ A cooking class: for in person ones you can check out the @surlatable in your area or other local options. For virtual, Uncommon Experiences from @uncommongoods has a bunch of great options!⁣ ⁣ 👉 For more planet-friendly gift guides, make sure to check out my blog (Link in bio!)⁣ ⁣ #plantbasedeating #holidaygiftguide #giftideasforher #giftideasforhim #foodwaste #sustainableliving #ecofriendlygifts
Wrapping up my eco-friendly Thanksgiving series wi Wrapping up my eco-friendly Thanksgiving series with a few tips for clean up! All the susty cleaning products I’d use are tagged below. I hope that all who are celebrating enjoy a nice and relaxing Thanksgiving and I’ll see you all next week 😊⁣ ⁣ Dishwasher tablets and multi-purpose spray: @blueland (link in bio)⁣ ⁣ Bamboo scrubber: @zefirowaste (link in bio)⁣ ⁣ Compost bin: @bamboozlehomewares ⁣ Beeswax wrap: @beeswrap ⁣ #lowwasteliving #cleaningtips #thanksgiving #sustainableholidays #sustainability
Susty gifts for your friend who loves beauty & sel Susty gifts for your friend who loves beauty & self-care 😌⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ A makeup palette from @themobbeauty: Mob is a cruelty-free, vegan makeup brand that offers refillable beauty products. I especially love their palettes bc they’re customizable, so you’re not buying a whole palette and only using one or two shades, plus they offer a mail back program for recycling your refills.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ @Blueland Body Wash: As someone who doesn’t love bar soap, this is a great plastic-free alternative. Just mix the powder with water and you’ve got eco-friendly liquid body wash ready to go!⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ @Alpynbeauty Lip Mask: Everyone could use a good lip mask, especially with brisk, cold winter days right around the corner. This one from Alpyn Beauty is cruelty-free and leaves my lips feeling hydrated and healthy.⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ @Notes.candles: Candles always make great gifts and these ones from Notes are made to be used over and over again. Once your candle has been fully burned, just refill with Notes’ natural wax beads (made from a blend of soy, beeswax, and rice bran).⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ @Versed Instant Resurfacing Mask: Everyone needs a good exfoliant in their skincare arsenal and this one from the cruelty-free and climate neutral brand, Versed, is the perfect combo of affordable, effective and sustainable.⁣ ⁣Follow along for more sustainable gift guides and holiday tips. PS full gift guides are also available on my blog if you’d like to check them out 👀⁣ ⁣ #giftguide #holidaygiftguide #sustainablebeauty #sustainableskincare #skincareproducts #beautygifts #giftsforher
Things I Don’t Throw Away Anymore is back with a Things I Don’t Throw Away Anymore is back with a Thanksgiving edition! 🍁⁣ ⁣ Lmk how you’re making your Thanksgiving (or any other holiday gathering) a little more sustainable this year!⁣ ⁣ #thanksgiving #wasteless #sustainableliving #lowwaste #ecotips
Who can relate? 🙋‍♀️⁣ ⁣ It’s a deli Who can relate? 🙋‍♀️⁣ ⁣ It’s a delicate balance encouraging friends and family to incorporate more sustainable practices into their lives, especially at family gatherings.⁣ ⁣ Luckily, most of my family follows my page and knows about my passion for sustainability, so they already do what they can to be more planet-friendly. 🥰⁣ ⁣ But, for families who may not be as in tune with the sustainability movement, it can feel intimidating to make eco-friendly suggestions. You don’t want to offend people or bring down the mood of the gathering.⁣ ⁣ My recommendation if you want to share some eco-education with your fam this Thanksgiving: talk with them about why you’re interested in it and how it’s benefited your life. Maybe even share some of your favorite creators with them. Don’t make it about pointing out anything they’re doing wrong, keep the subject positive and focus on getting them excited about learning more.⁣ ⁣ ‼️One note: if you’re talking with folks who are downright climate deniers, there may not be a way to have a productive conversation, but I would recommend checking out @katharinehayhoe’s Ted Talk because she shares some great advice on how to depolarize the topic and invite people into the movement.⁣ ⁣ #climatechangeawareness #sustainableliving #lowwastelifestyle #thanksgiving #smallsustainablesteps
