Sustainable Living: Mother’s Day Gifts for Eco-friendly Moms

Sustainable Living: Mother’s Day Gifts for Eco-friendly Moms

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and with the coronavirus pandemic, it may be difficult to think of celebrating or shopping for meaningful gifts especially during this crucial time. The pandemic has taught people all over the world about what is essential and the effects of the coronavirus have also reached the environment. Skies are clearer, the ocean is quieter, and cities no longer expel as much pollution now that most citizens are staying at home to protect themselves from the virus. This time has made us think about sustainable living and how we can positively impact the environment. This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring eco-friendly moms who help create a better world for their kids by using sustainably manufactured products. Here are some of the best Mother’s Day gifts for eco-friendly moms to help support their and their family’s sustainable living.

 

Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Eco-friendly Moms Will Adore These Sustainable Gifts

1. S’WELL Lilac Posy 17-Ounce Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Did you know that there are about 50 billion water bottles bought in the U.S. globally. This means that the potential of these bottles, once discarded, are disposed of in landfills or end up in the ocean, harming marine life. To avoid single-use plastic such as water bottles, many have turned to bringing their own water bottles to work. For eco-friendly moms who avoid single-use water bottles, get her the S’well Lilac Posy, a chic 17-ounce insulated stainless steel water bottle. She may already have one, if she’s into sustainable living, but this is one to collect with its gorgeous design that moms will love to flaunt at barre or yoga class.
