Our Top 5 Eco-Friendly Products
April 18, 2016As we celebrate Earth Day this week, take the time to think about your place on this planet we call home. With many different challenges to overcome, it can be tempting to think that your individual effort doesn’t mean much. While you can’t offset the emissions of an entire highway or replant a rain forest all on your own, you can take small but meaningful steps to make the world a better place, starting right now.
Here are our top five eco-friendly products to help you get there:

Did you know that your phone charger continues to use power as long as your phone is plugged in, even if your phone has finished charging? Unless you get your electricity from renewable sources, your phone charger can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. With an internal battery pack that holds up to 10 days of partial charges, or enough to fully charge two devices, the Karen Powered Handbag features flap-over pockets for your small essentials and a removable zippered gear bag to store the included charger cord. When you charge this bag overnight, you’ll know that none of the electricity is going to waste.
No matter which conservation style you choose, there are plenty of ways to make the earth a better place. Get out there and make a difference this Earth Day.
