In Honor of Earth Day: Amazon Home Products with Sustainability Features

Happy Belated Earth Day! It's a little late, but April is also Earth Month, so hopefully it still counts.

Earth Day Amazon Home Products Sustainability Features

Let's face it, we humans have done quite a number on our poor planet. We need to be more conscious of what we can do as consumers to assist in improving the environment and protecting the earth.


I try to recycle every possible item that I can, but our recycling systems are not as effective as they need to be. It is my understanding that much of what is put into our recycling bins and sent to recycling centers unfortunately doesn't get recycled. Because of this, I am considering additional ways to do less harm to the planet.


One way to do this is to purchase sustainable products, which are products that have a minimal impact on the environment and society. Some examples of sustainable products are clothing made with eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton or bamboo, furniture made with recycled or reclaimed wood, electronics made with recycled materials and energy efficient components, and water bottles or coffee cups made with reusable or biodegradable materials.


Amazon has pledged to address environmental and societal challenges through their sustainability program. You can read more about it here and also review their 2022 Sustainability Report. With that, I felt today it would be appropriate to share Amazon products that include sustainability features.


There were not a ton of products with sustainability features that fall into the home decor category, but I did find a few that I will share.
