So we all know that online shopping isn't always the most eco-friendly. There's the carbon emissions, plastic packaging, etc. However, if you have to online shop (such as during times of social distancing!), there are ways to do it in a way that's a little more environmentally positive. One method is ordering in bulk. When you get everything you need from one place, that's just one shipping cost, and generally less boxes and packaging materials needed as well. Natalie Kay of Sustainably Chic put together this list of 10 One-Stop Shops for the Conscious Consumers.
It's a great roundup of eco-friendly stores for home goods, decor, fashion and anything else you need right now.
When you need to buy from more than just one brand or product category, check out these great curated places! As always, they make sure to do all the heavy lifting for you. Their vetting process for which brands make the cut is strict, so we don’t have to do all the digging. And that, we thank them for!
