48 Eco Friendly Products You Can Buy Today to Help Stop Plastic Pollution - THE WALDEN POST

48 Eco Friendly Products You Can Buy Today to Help Stop Plastic Pollution

Eco Friendly Products Image

To say plastic pollution is a widespread problem is not doing it justice:

  • One million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year from plastic pollution in our oceans.
  • In one study by the U.S. Centres for Disease Control, nearly 93 percent of people tested positive for BPA (a potentially harmful chemical present in plastic products).

Think the problem is too big for you to make an impact?

Think again.

We put together this list of eco friendly products to show you just how easy it can be to replace some of the plastic products you buy. By replacing them, you can virtually eliminate your single use plastic pollution in that area.

One of the best ways to fight plastic pollution is to live by example and ensure the products you buy are produced with both ethics and the environment in mind.

Also, don’t forget to share the journey with your friends and family.  The more friends you convince, the more people you share articles like this one with, the more people will begin using environmentally friendly products in their everyday lives, and that is how we change the world.

Scroll down to see where you can make some simple changes with eco friendly products that can have big impacts on your environmental footprint.

Everyday items for the Eco Warrior: Where to find the best eco friendly products in Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne

The single most important issue facing modern humanity is climate change. We’ve all seen the evidence in our climate and in disturbing images from across the globe all over the news. The question is: what can we do about it? The key to tackling climate change is both macro and micro. It’s important that we, as individuals, take up the cause just as strongly as governments and corporations could and should. That’s where Onya and our reusable products come in. We understand what it means to live responsibly  in a modern world and apply those principles to all aspects of our business and in our daily lives.

In order to make the changes we want to see happen, we know the key to success is finding ways of adjusting your habits in a way that complements your current lifestyle. Habits won’t stick if they require a drastic change in behaviour so Onya began with a simple mission; Create innovative, environmentally friendly solutions that easily fit into your life. We are here to bring you solutions that make a difference, right to your doorstep. Looking for eco friendly products in Brisbane? We got you. Adelaide? Come on in. From Sydney to Melbourne, Perth to Queensland, Onya is an Australian eco store that has been offering innovative solutions to single use plastic waste since 2004. 

What is the problem? How do we fix it?

The big problem, as we all know, is the long-term increase of the Earth’s temperature. We humans have been wreaking havoc on our atmosphere for a long time, and now our chickens are well and truly home to roost. Plastic is littering our oceans; our landfill is land-filled, and we throw away more and more each year.

We can all lessen our impact with  a simple approach. The six ‘R’s we live our lives by are: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. If we can try and keep these principles in mind when making daily decisions, then we can start making a positive impact on our surroundings.

Onya goes that one step further. We are a B Corp certified company which, put plainly, means we have an obligation to meet the very highest of social and environmental standards. B Corps balance their profit with their purpose so that you, the consumer, know that your dollars do good.

We partner with only those who match our ethical commitments to ensure that we  bring you products manufactured the right way. Made in China, our lines are made by companies whose values echo our own and we have been working with them for many years. Every partner we work with is approved as socially and environmentally conscious. We prioritise proper workers’ rights, community impact, environmental credentials and, of course, you, our customer.

Time to make the switch

Ditch the doubt and choose a company with the credentials that support their sustainability claims. If you would like to learn more about how Onya prioritizes ethics over profits, head on over to our website and navigate to the About section. Alternatively, you can connect with us on social media today by following @onyalife on Facebook, Instagram Twitter and Pinterest!
