Like pretty much every large-scale problem affecting our society these days (gender pay gap, anyone? Don’t even get us started), environmental issues often feel pretty overwhelming. We want to be difference-makers, but where are we supposed to begin? Luckily for us, many manufacturers out there are taking steps on our behalf to create products that will keep our planet a bit more safe and sound for the generations to come.
In honor of Earth Day, we’ve rounded up eight of these products for your world-saving pleasure.
