Lasts literally forever. No nonstick coating to degrade, no chemicals, no planned obsolescence. The most sustainable pan you can buy.

Why We Love It

A $30 pan that replaces every nonstick pan you'd buy and throw away over a lifetime. Cast iron is the original sustainable cookware.

Bamboozle Bamboo Compost Bin

$40

Countertop compost bin made from bamboo fiber. Charcoal filter eliminates odors. Holds 1.5 gallons of scraps.

Pyrex Simply Store Glass Containers (10-Piece)

$30

Glass containers that replace disposable plastic. Oven, microwave, freezer, dishwasher safe. No chemicals leaching into food.

Why We Love It

Glass doesn't stain, warp, absorb odors, or leach chemicals. After a year of daily use, they still look brand new. Plastic containers never do.
