The Best Non-Toxic Fall & Christmas Candles

Are you looking for sustainable candles to bring in the holiday cheer? I don’t know about you, but it’s almost impossible not to light my first fall candle before September. There is always a day in August with just the right breeze to put me in the mood for the new season. Then, right after Halloween, I immediately go for the Christmas tree-scented candles! The last four months of the year are always a favorite of mine, and I feel like the candles are a special part of it all.

I’ve been guilty of buying scents at stores like Target, but there are many better places to buy candles. You want to ensure what you are burning in your home is made with safe ingredients and poured ethically. Many candles you find today are made with paraffin wax derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil. When burning, this wax releases toxic compounds into the air, like acetone, benzene, and toluene, all known carcinogens. With this list, you don’t have to worry about those! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with all the best smells :D

Ethical Engagement & Wedding Rings

Purchasing an engagement ring or a wedding band is a challenging task. There are many different jewelers and designs, making for a daunting process. And for many women today, where their diamonds come from is an essential aspect of the ring. Every jeweler we have listed here has high ethical standards for what, how & where their rings are produced. These rings are as sustainable as a wedding ring can get, from lab-grown diamonds to recycled metals. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that they are GORGEOUS!

What is an ethical engagement ring?

An ethical engagement ring has been made using fair labor and is made of materials that have also been sourced fairly. Unfortunately, the diamond industry is full of corruption and has extreme working conditions, forced labor, and child labor. The brands listed here do not partake in those activities and go above & beyond to see the jewelry industry more sustainable in the future.

What is a sustainable engagement ring?

A sustainable engagement ring is ideal because it looks at the ethics of how it is produced AND how it affects the planet. Now that we have found a way to create diamonds, we don’t have as high of a need to dig for more. Enough gold and silver are circulating, so we can easily recycle them to create new jewelry. Sustainable engagement rings can be made from eco-friendly materials like man-made diamonds, fair-mined diamonds (which hold strict regulations on who and how the diamond is mined), and vintage and recycled materials.

The Best SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY CAT TOYS & PRODUCTS

Let’s be honest, purchasing sustainable products for your cat is probably the last thing on your mind!  Sometimes it can be challenging enough to get ourselves on the sustainability track, let alone our fur babies.  Don’t be discouraged, eco-friendly cat products are out there and I’ve made a list of products to create your kitty’s purrfect sustainable sanctuary!

WHY BUY ECO-FRIENDLY CAT TOYS AND PRODUCTS?

Of course, we want to buy products that are better for the planet, but did you know eco-friendly products are better for your cat too?  It’s actually not that surprising if you think about it.  Natural materials like wool and tree branches attract your kitty and are much safer than some of the conventional pet products out there.  In the US there are no safety regulations about what pet toys can be made out of, so be careful and do your research!

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS FOR YOUR CAT

Purchasing products made of natural materials is usually the best way to go when it comes to our cats and the planet.  Materials like wood, hemp, wool, and cork are excellent sustainable resources and have many benefits for our feline friends as well!

I also love products made of recycled plastic or other reclaimed materials, especially as an alternative to conventional plastic products.  Anything to help keep those pesky water bottles out of the ocean!

Don’t know where to start looking? EarthHero is one of my favorite places to shop for all things sustainable and they have a pretty extensive pet section!  Also, never underestimate the power of Google.  You can find plenty of great sustainable small businesses just by doing a simple search.

SHOULD I GET RID OF ALL MY CAT’S STUFF AND START FRESH?

Definitely not!  Your kitty won’t appreciate you throwing out her favorite toys and keeping the products you already have is actually one of the most sustainable options.  When the time comes to buy new items for your kitty, you will know that eco-friendly options are available!

If you can’t stand looking at that ugly old cat tree anymore, don’t just put it out by the curb.  Animal shelters would gladly it off your hands along with any other gently used cat items you’d like to donate.  Don’t forget to thoroughly clean items before donating.

NOW, OUR TOP PICKS FOR ECO-FRIENDLY CAT PRODUCTS:

1) Cardboard Cat Scratcher

Brand | Americat Company from The Kind Pet

Price | $32.99

Material | Recycled Cardboard

Cats are notorious for scratching at almost anything and everything they can get their little paws on. That’s why investing in a cat scratcher is a no-brainer. The only issue is that cat scratchers often wear down quickly, which does nothing to benefit their claws or stimulation. 

This cat scratcher not only holds up to aggressive scratching, but it’s made with 100% recycled cardboard (here in the USA) and nothing else. That means no added chemicals or finishes. It is also double-sided for double the use and is non-shedding.

COMFY, SUSTAINABLE & Organic COMFORTERS

A high-quality, comfy comforter is a must-have for everyone who wants to have a good night’s sleep. Choosing the right one for you is as equally important as having the right mattress or pillows. 

When you are looking for a new comforter, you need to pick the right weight and warmth, the right size for your bed, and the right materials. Unfortunately, many brands sell comforters that contain synthetic fabrics or filling, like polyester. 

The problem is that synthetic materials are not only extremely unsustainable but also very bad to sleep in. They are not great for regulating our body temperature, and they are not breathable, meaning that we are either too hot or too cold during the night. 

Most cheap comforters are also very poorly made, and they often fall apart after only a few months of use. Not to mention that a lot of them contain harmful and unhealthy chemicals that are dangerous for human health and the planet! 

If you want to stay away from such comforters, read on! We have selected 11 eco-friendly comforters that are comfortable, breathable and sustainable so that you can feel good sleeping in them. 

Sweet eco-conscious dreams under your new comforter! 

WHAT MAKES A COMFORTER SUSTAINABLE?

A sustainable comforter is one that is good quality and well-made. You should be able to use it for many years without it wearing down, and the filling should not shift or bunch.  

It should also be made in an ethical factory where workers are treated well and paid fairly. It is even better if the factory is Fairtrade-certified!  

Since we are sleeping in it all night, the comforter should be breathable and hypoallergenic, and have temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties. 

It should also be safe and free of harmful substances, so look for ones that received the GOTS, MADE SAFE, or OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifications. 

A sustainable comforter is also made using eco-friendly and natural materials. These will not only be gentler on the planet but also better for your health and sleep quality. 

Finally, try to buy from a brand that received some eco-certifications, such as a B Corporation or a climate-neutral certified company.  

WHAT ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS SHOULD YOU SEARCH FOR?

Try to stay away from synthetic materials, like polyester, as these are not great to sleep in. But if you do not mind, recycled polyester will always be a better alternative to synthetics made of virgin materials. 

Conventional cotton is another fabric you should avoid as it is produced using a lot of pesticides, which is not ideal for something you will be sleeping with every single night.  

The best, most sustainable comforters are made using biodegradable and natural materials. So go for comforters with an outer shell made of GOTS-certified organic cotton, linen, Tencel lyocell, hemp, or bamboo lyocell. 

For the filling, organic cotton and bamboo lyocell are great options here as well. If you are fine with a comforter made using animal products, you can also choose one containing responsibly sourced down, recycled wool or organic wool.

the best sustainable, Non-Toxic & organic mattresses

A good night’s sleep is something to cherish, especially with how demanding our lives can be. For many years, I never thought about the mattress I slept on. I took the full-size mattress my parents purchased when I was seven years old to college and slept on it until I was about 25 (yeah, it wasn’t that comfortable). At that point, I had already made many eco-friendly and sustainable switches in my life, so when I went searching for a mattress, I knew it needed to align with my values. 

WHY CHOOSE a non-Toxic Mattress?

Because we spend 1/3 of our lives in our beds! Why wouldn’t we want to make it a safe, non-toxic zone? When we get a little shut-eye, we shouldn’t have to compromise our health (or the planet’s). You don’t want to sleep on toxic materials which have been grown or treated with pesticides. The majority of these mattresses are made with certified organic materials, but all are approved to be toxic-free & healthy for sleep.

What to look for when buying a non-toxic mattress

When adding new mattress brands to this list, we looked for eco-friendly materials and sustainable certifications. Materials we like to see are sustainably sourced wool, organic cotton, organic rubber, and natural latex. Certifications to look for include Rain Forest Alliance, GOTS, GOLS, GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX, CertiPUR-US®, and Intertek Clean Air Certified. While certifications are not a be-all, end-all, they ensure higher ethical and sustainable standards are met, making conscious shopping easier for consumers.

our top picks for sustainable, organic, & non-toxic mattresses:
