List of Daily Use Items and Their Sustainable Alternatives

All of the material that is either recycled or trashed comes from our daily use. If we replace those daily use items with more re-usable ones we could greatly reduce the waste and the amount of recycle we have to deal with.

We have prepared a list of most commonly used daily items. You could buy most of these items on goosavvy.com.
