Having a unique mug you coloured yourself and getting that sometimes much needed motivation from the prospect of an upcoming family trip is wonderful, now more than ever. Chart your all-American adventures–and plan some new ones–over your morning coffee with this interactive mug. Color in the tree that marks each magnificent National Park you visit, from Acadia to Zion, using the included marker. Then dry and bake it in the oven to commemorate a personalized map you can enjoy with every sip. The included legend lists all 62 parks in the 50 states. Designed and sustainably made in Europe from high-quality ceramic.

I would be nowhere without my morning coffee, and this product, designed for use in all Keurig home coffee makers, is the ultimate eco-friendly way to have delicious coffee at home.

This KitchenIQ knife sharpener is a wonderful way to keep your knives sharp and fresh so that you can reuse, rather than replace them. Being eco friendly is all about upgrading and upcycling products and a knife sharpener is a great way to do that!

This Full Circle Scrap Happy compost bin is an absolute must have for every eco-friendly kitchen. It attaches to your drawer, is easy to empty and can even be thrown in the dishwasher. A compost bin is the essential alternative to your food and yard waste ending up in the landfill in a plastic bag.
AIRBOX Peak Series-C
This product was recommended by Hannah Albert from Squeeze Marketing
The AIRBOX Peak Series-C is typically built into custom cabinetry in the kitchen and purifies your air quietly, efficiently, and without being noticed. The size is only 13” x 13” x 24”. It is a commercial grade air purifier made with the only micro-shield protection on the market. This protection is rooted in the enclosure material and makes it bacteria resistant. It traps respiratory irritants, particles and allergens.
SodaStream Aqua Fizz w/ Glass Carafe
This product was recommended by Emi Louie from Blisshaus
If your household consumes drinks in plastic bottles that are largely shipped overseas, switching to the Soda Stream will reduce your plastic consumption and CO2 emissions significantly. Per the company website, one Sodastream reusable bottle rids the world of up to 3,000 single-use plastic bottles. The Aqua Fizz model features a glass carafe, which is not only gorgeous, but also helps you to further reduce your plastic consumption.
Nespresso Virtuo Next Coffee Maker
This product was recommended by Emi Louie from Blisshaus
Coffee drinkers will love the convenience and sustainable features of this coffee maker, which is made from recycled plastic, offers energy saving modes, and precisely measures the water and energy needed to make every brew. As with other Nespresso machines, the Virtuo Next uses aluminum pods that can be recycled through their free and convenient mail-in pod recycling service.
Ultimate 2-In-1 Single Cup Coffee Maker
This product was recommended by Katie Miils from Poshh
It heats up 14Oz of water quickly and has an auto shut-off feature so it’s never sitting just eating up energy. The filter is reusable (and it does take coffee pods) and can go in the dishwasher along with the mug. What I really like about this is that it’s designed to brew coffee into a standard keep cup (there’s one supplied) which is how you keep your coffee hot while you’re drinking it. This is much more energy efficient than using a hotplate. You can use this for getting your coffee ready while you’re sorting yourself out to go to work, or to keep refuelled easily and economically while you’re working from home.

This Philips kettle is a great eco-friendly addition to your kitchen. It uses up to 66% less energy to boil water than its traditional counterparts, helping you to conserve energy.

You’ll be able to toast your bread and bagels 40 percent faster than in a traditional toaster, which keeps your electricity use down. The countertop oven automatically turns off when the timer rings, so you’ll be less likely to burn your food and you won’t use excess power.
