Green Champion Spotlight
Since 2006, Life Without Plastic has stayed true to its mission to live up to the company’s name. What began as a search for plastic-free baby bottles grew into a commitment to offer consumers plastic-free products sourced from ethical brands. They also offer recommended products that have passed their litmus test, just like Green Trotter. Want to know how to reduce your plastic consumption? Check out their book of the same name, Life Without Plastic.
For more on living a plastic-free life, be sure to also visit Beyond Plastics, a grassroots organization led by former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator, Judith Enck, for becoming a plastic-free advocate in your community.
Life Without Plastic shows that small choices can make a real difference. Their thoughtful products and helpful guidance make plastic-free living feel simple, hopeful, and within reach.
Feel-Good Pick of the Month

Feel-Good Pick of the Month *
As kids trade mountain trails for city streets, safety remains a top priority. As they grow, their helmets should grow with them, which means it may be time for an upgrade. Living sustainably also means considering the products we choose, so it is encouraging to see more safety gear made ethically and with green materials on the market. A good rule of thumb is to look for proper fit and certifications such as CPSC for ages five and older, or CE/ASTM standards.
One example is Thousand, which offers helmets for children, youth, and adults that meet safety certifications and are safer for the planet. Stylish and eco-friendly, the helmets also come with a lifetime guarantee. As a Climate Positive company, Thousand partners with 1% for the Planet and is dedicated to offsetting 110% of its carbon emissions.
Whatever helmet you choose, before you and your loved ones hop on a bike, e-bike, or scooter, remember: helmet first!
