“Being sustainable” isn’t something you achieve overnight. No offense to those content creators who can fit several years’ worth of trash into a single Mason jar, but no one *actually* wakes up one day and suddenly starts living a completely zero-waste, climate-neutral lifestyle. Like many things, it’s a process, and the key is to start small.
One of the best ways I’ve found to up my eco-friendliness is to swap in a few sustainable products for items I’m already using in my daily routine. Trying to give my whole life an eco-friendly overhaul all at once is a sure-fire way to make me burnt out and inevitably go right back to my old ways. Instead, I focus on small things I can do every day to reduce my impact on the planet. If you’re looking for places to start, these sustainable products make it easy to swap in a more ecological option without sacrificing your style.
Thousand Fell
Cans and bottles are easy to recycle, but your worn-out sneakers from the college days? Not so much. That is, until Thousand Fell entered the chat. Thousand Fell created the first recyclable sneaker with thoughtfully selected materials and designed their sneakers to ensure that as many of their shoes can get recycled as possible without sacrificing on comfort or durability. Plus, if you send them back to be recycled at the end of their life cycle, Thousand Fell offers $20 toward your next pair. See ya later, sneaker waste.
