Sustainable Gift Ideas for a Smaller Carbon Footprint!

I have been doing a ton of shopping over the last few weeks and have been trying to buy at least a few gifts with a smaller carbon footprint. If you are looking for sustainable gift ideas, there are a few key things to keep in mind. Shopping locally is always a great choice when you can manage it. I am putting together a few gift baskets full of locally sourced products for parents and siblings to enjoy. You can also look for clothing made from natural fibers, beauty products made from natural and organic ingredients, or even fun experiences that require no actual wrapping paper at all.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Cold Brew Coffee is a huge treat on a hot, summer day!

Rather than use fragile glass or plastic the Wicked Java Joe’s brewing container is the famous Ball brands 2-quart glass mason jar. Wicked Java Joe’s heavy duty, high quality,stainless steel filter is known as a Dutch Weave metal mesh. It is made from heavy gauge, food grade stainless steel wire that is super durable and easy to clean. The Plastic Lid is BPA-free and the  silicone seal is made from high-quality food-grade silicone. The ‘food grade’ silicone seal allows you to shake the jar during the brewing process so that all the grounds are completely soaked in water aiding in making a richer brew.
