Finding ways to be a better earth advocate has never been easier. One of the best ways to help the environment as been through your consumer money on the products you buy.
In honor of Earth Day, we have rounded up some of our favorite “green” products. The earth, however, should be celebrated all year, so here’s a guide to earth-friendly products that you will actually use all year long.

This kit includes three reusable bottles and a cleaning tablet for each type of cleaner. All you need to do is fill the bottle with warm water from your tap and add the tablet. When you get low, just order a plastic free refill pack and repeat the process. With refills packs at $2 or less, you can save money and the environment.
