Greener Dish Cleaning:

Many dishwashing liquids are non-biodegradable and contain phosphates that harm our freshwater sources. To clean pans without a toxic detergent, fill with cold water, a lot of salt and a slice of onion. Let pan set overnight, then bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Once cool, the burnt food will come right off.

Fair Trade Coffee

Why It's Good:

Your morning cup of joe never tasted so good. This fairly traded coffee brews up in jazzy blends like Black Silk Espresso, Love Buzz, and Midnight Sun.

Why It's Green:

These certified organic beans are grown in small farmer co-operatives in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Founded in 1986, Equal Exchange has long been a proponent of Fair Trade principles, with a mission to "build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers." Meaning you can be assured that the brew you're enjoying came from farmers who harvested the beans under safe working conditions and were paid fairly for their labor and product.
