Within a few weeks we’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day. If your mom is a fan of sustainability, we have plenty of earth-aligned gifts she might like.
A sustainable mom prioritizes environmentally conscious practices at home, but also at the office, exercising or taking care of herself. If your family strives to reduce environmental impact in daily life, the perfect gift for your mom has to be eco-friendly!
Now… What can we keep in mind to choose a conscious gift?
- The source of the materials→ We always should prefer natural or recycled materials that are non-toxic and biodegradable. Such as: bamboo, organic cotton, recycled plastic.
- Minimal packaging→ In order to minimize waste packaging must be made from reusable, recyclable, or compostable materials. It may come in a reusable cloth bag or a box made from recycled materials, rather than excess wrapping paper or plastic.
- Prefer local production→ Reduce transportation emissions by supporting the local economy.
- Durability→ It’s important to wonder.. Is it intended to last or a single-use product?
- Ethical production→ A sustainable gift is produced under fair labor practices and without exploiting workers or harming animals. This means avoiding items made in sweatshops, with child labor, or from animal products such as fur or leather.
All the products from our store are cruelty free & vegan!
