Gifts To Save The Planet

The planet is getting hotter, autumn is dead, there are mosquitos everywhere, hurricanes are getting worse ... you get the idea. Everyone loves giving gifts for the holidays, but the best gift we can give to one another right now is a leg up in the fight against climate change and other pending ecological doom. On that cheery note, here are some environmentally friendly gifts to help your loved ones help Earth:
Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug
Let’s start off with something fairly universal: a reusable coffee mug. The US throws out around 108 billion disposable cups per year, so there’s a lot of room for improvement here. Several PopSci staffers insist—quite passionately—that the Zojirushi is far and away the best travel mug in existence. It comes in a whole bunch of snazzy matte colors.
Mason jars
If your hipster cousin has already eschewed travel mugs in favor of mason jars, get them some real pretty mason jars. Actually, just buy everyone mason jars. They’re genuinely great, and these are a nice retro shade of blue.
Anker 21W Dual USB Solar Charger
Something else you don’t have to be a huge eco-nerd to appreciate: a way to charge your devices on the go. Anker is a reliable brand for thing kind of thing, and their 21W Dual USB Solar Charger is the top seller in its category on Amazon. It’s on the bigger side—clearly designed to drape over a backpack during a hike—but folds down small enough that anyone who commutes with a backpack or tote could bring it around for everyday use. Give the gift of going off the grid.
Mod family Silicone Stretch Lids
Look, not every gift has to be super glitzy. Use them to seal up bowls of leftovers—or half-cut-up fruits and veggies—so you waste less food! Use one as an impromptu mason jar lid! Go wild!
Reusable Organic Cotton Pads
Sometimes it doesn’t even occur to us how wasteful the products we use every day are—or how easy it would be to make a reusable version. Case in point: make-up removing pads. Get this eco-friendly version for the eyeliner-lover in your life. And if they balk, just make sure they know that the same company also sells reusable toilet paper. They’re getting off easy.
