Calling all parents and students! As you get ready to head back to school, here are four simple plastic-free swaps to make to make your school year lower waste:
Bamboo cutlery: made of sturdy bamboo, they are endlessly washable and includes a fork, spoon, knife, chop sticks, straw, and straw cleaner.
Reusable silicon food bags: these washable food bags can hold sandwiches, snacks, fruits and more.
Plastic-free chapstick: Feel your best with this vegan lip balm in a recyclable tube. This chapstick is made with only five ingredients: avocado oil, candelilla wax, coconut oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E oil, and spearmint natural flavoring
Plastic-free gum: a backpack staple without the plastic!
