RFID Blocking Crossbody Travel Bag
This product was recommended by Alina Clark from CocoDoc
This Haiku bag is poetically yours, you will never leave the house without the Revel again! Made of of CyclePET, a durable polyester fabric made from 5+ recycled post-consumer beverage bottles. Hemp Cotton color is crafted from a sustainable hemp cotton. Features top zip closure with a PU leather trim. This bag features an adjustable shoulder. I own several Haiku bags and like them all. What I love most is the extra length the adjustable strap affords – esp for taller or larger women. This strap adjusts up 57 when fully extended. I also like the narrower strap as it tends to sit better on my shoulder and not slide over and dig into my neck.
ECO WAVE 100% Biodegradable and Compostable Bin Liners
This product was recommended by Sally Stevens from FastPeopleSearch
Love these bags! The color is quite nice and love how soft it feels to the touch. A bit on the expensive side but once you feel how sturdy they are and not have to worry about the bag leaking or ripping on the way out, totally worth the money – also great to know that they don’t harm the environment, which makes it worth the additional pounds.
Biodegradable Eco-Friendly Natural Bamboo Charcoal Toothbrushes
This product was recommended by Gian Moore from Mellowpine
Eco-friendly people unite! These brushes are a perfect first step to cutting down on non-recyclable plastic. Even the box and the dyes in the box are biodegradable! The bristles are soft and seem to do a good job at getting all the plaque off of my teeth. Also these are super affordable for 4 of them! The downsides are that the feeling of the bamboo takes some getting used to. It’s not the same smoothness you’re expecting with a plastic toothbrush. Another one is that the bamboo sometimes has ‘splinters’ where a little bit of the wood sticks up due to it swelling. This can be kind of uncomfortable but if you find the splitter and tear it off/sand it down with a nail file you should be fine.
