SUSTAINABILITY SAMPLER KIT
"TO GO"
We gathered a few items to help you break the single use plastic habit. The products in this kit can be used again and again -- helping the environment, and saving you money too!
Car Trash Can
Whether you take your breakfast on the go, or make a fast-food pit stop for lunch, car trash bags are excellent for keeping trash in its place in your automobile. This car has side pockets to keep your water bottle within easy reach and keep other items organized. It can also be used as storage or cooler – ideal for road trips.
Waterproof and washable.
Vendor: CarCan.com
Measures: 14.5” x 10” x 6”
Water Bottle
Stay hydrated wherever you go.
Whether you are on a hike or at a sporting event, fill your reusable water bottle as a sustainable alternative to plastic bottled water. Carrying your own reusable water bottle is environmentally friendly and more cost effective than purchasing single used bottled water.
Many schools and public spaces now have water filling stations so you can refill your water bottle while you're out and about. It’s never too early to put these in the hands of our younger generation so that reusable water bottles are the norm.
Measures: 26 oz stainlesss steel
Unpaper Towels
Do you find yourself constantly reaching for a single use paper towel to wipe up a small spill or sticky hands after a meal? Unpaper towels are absorbent and durable for all types of messes. The best part is you can just toss it in the wash to reuse.
Marley’s Monsters Unpaper Towels are single-ply 100% cotton flannel; edges are sewn for durability and to prevent fraying; absorbency is increased after the first few washes; machine wash warm with like colors and dry in dryer. Unpaper Towels cling together, making it easy to roll up on a paper towel roll/rod.
Marley’s Monsters Unpaper Towels are available on their website or can be ordered at Eco Maniac or Amazon. Similar towels are available on Etsy if you are looking to support a local Virginia crafter.
Measures: 12” x 10”
