    For those of you who are tea lovers I recently discovered a company called Arbor Teas. They sell fair trade, loose leaf tea and they have so many flavors. The tea is delicious, but the best part is that the packaging the tea comes in is backyard compostable! They also ship with recyclable materials.

    I stumbled upon a company called the Zero Waste Cartel. They have a lot of neat products that are zero waste. They even have reef safe sunscreen. :)

    My eco friendly Myro deoderant came in the other day. The outer case is reusable and the inserts are recyclable once you've used up the deoderant. So far I like it!
