You should always carry spare bags with you when you go shopping so why not make it an eco-friendly and stylish one. Also available at Eco Products UK are Doy Shopping bags, these are made from recycled juice cartons by a women’s cooperative in the Philippines. When buying these products you are preventing waste from going to landfill but also giving money to a good cause.

We’ve had necklaces and we’ve had bags so what next….shoes of course. Simple shoes specialises in biodegradable shoes that are sustainably made, some are even vegan friendly.

Okay, now something for the guys….an eco satnav. The Eco Navigator not only directs you to the most energy efficient route, it also plugs into your vehicle’s diagnostic port and tracks your fule usage and carbon emissions speed. With this data you can start to make changes to the way you drive and the Eco Navigator will tell you how you’re doing. It tracks the routes you take regularly and tells you about any improvements to your fuel efficiency.

Here is my list of websites for buying eco-products from gardening tools to recycling aids and gadgets to jewellery:
