Green Products We Love

The conveniences of modern living shouldn’t be sacrificed as you attempt to go green.  At HomeIntel we love the products that allow people to make responsible yet realistic and reasonable choices.  At times, living unsustainably may be a hard habit to break, but there are tons of green home products that make it easy and fun.

Here are a few of our favorite green things for your home.

1. Composter – Composting is a fun activity for the whole family, and composters come in a wide variety of sizes so it’s something you can do no matter where you live.
2. Recycled Glass – From countertops to a flower vase, recycled glass can be brought into your home in so many forms for a beautiful, unique addition to any room.
3. Vampire Energy Savers – We love these because with the flick of a switch or the push of a button you can make an environmentally responsible decision and feel good about it all day.
4. Sustainable Fireplaces – Many brands are manufacturing eco-friendly fireplaces that not only satisfy our sustainability needs but also function as works of art.
5. Green Disposable Dinnerware – In going green, it seems counterintuitive to use disposable dinnerware, but sometimes there’s just no way around it.  These eco-disposable plates are made of a fallen palm leaves and quickly decompose, leaving you with no regret about not doing the dishes.  (But if you fall in love with the quirky plate it can be washed and used it again)
6. Eco bug repellent supplies:  With the weather warming up and staycations becoming more popular, we will all be spending more time outside.  With these green bug zappers and repellents we can enjoy our backyards itch-free.
7. Fun Prints – Fabrics with modern yet natural patterns and design are an easy way to bring big change to an old room.  Bright leaf or floral print textiles scattered around the home are good reminders of why you’re living a more sustainable life to begin with.
8. CORK! – We’ve mentioned it in past posts, and we will say it again; you can do almost anything with cork.  This post from Apartment Therapy’s Re-Nest gives a glimpse of the resource’s versatility.
9. Wall accessories – Eco wall paper: If working with fabric and textiles isn’t up your alley another easy way to revive a room with a great pattern is by covering the walls. 

Do you have any of these things in your home?  What are your favorite green products?
