Some of my Favorite Websites
A grassroots environmental organization on a mission to connect Chicagoans with the resources they need to reduce the amount of trash they make.
An online shop that makes reducing your waste and finding alternatives to single-use plastic products convenient and simple.
Eating vegan drastically reduces your carbon footprint. It is definitely a big change and my family tries to eat vegan as much as possible. (We’ll have a steak every now and then.)
A great resource if you need information about what can go in the blue bin or if you need to order a new bin.
Curious about composting? Or do you want to compost but don’t have a ton space for a bin? These guys give you a 5 gallon bucket and will come empty it either biweekly or weekly. And for an added bonus, they are located here in Lincoln Square. You can also get the dirt you helped make later.
I absolutely love these lunchboxes! They are durable and come with cute magnets and bags for the kids!
My favorite line of metal water bottles, coffee cups, and food canisters.
This is a sustainable clothing line that plants ten trees for every item purchased. The clothes are super durable and stylish. Their goal is to plant one billion trees by 2030.
