Here are the top Earth Day activities or products you can buy to celebrate Earth Day 2023 and invest in our Earth for years to come:

1. Invest in a reusable water bottle to save on plastic.

Did you know that bottled water is ranked the #1 U.S. beverage by volume sold? According to the Container Recycling Institute, “more than 60 million plastic bottles end up in landfills and incinerators every day – a total of about 22 billion last year.” 😳

That makes switching to a reusable water bottle a no-brainer! 🙌🏼

Luckily, I personally tested and rated 5 of the most popular water bottles after using them all for over 3 years! So if you’re in the market this Earth Day, make sure to check out which one will best suit your needs. I even included the BEST option for kids! 👍

2. Help save the oceans by using our favorite reusable straws.

Approximately 500 million plastic straws are used each day in America alone. It’s also been calculated that by 2050 there will be more weight in straws than fish in the oceans. 😱 It’s no wonder why many larger companies have made the switch to a no-straw policy years ago.

Straws are extremely harmful and even fatal to marine life due to getting stuck or ingested. Even worse, research from the National Library of Medicine found traces of plastic in sea salt, 94% of tap water, and shellfish. 🙁

If you’re looking to stop using plastic straws, we shared our favorite reusable straws to use, which ones to stay away from, and even shared more information on the damage plastic straws are doing. Make the switch now!

Want to help the oceans and marine life beyond Earth Day 2023?

I love these 4ocean bracelets because each purchase cleans up one pound of trash in the water. Plus, you can choose specific colors that represent your favorite animals from sea turtles to dolphins.

4ocean even offers a Bracelet Subscription where you can score their latest limited edition bracelet every month and double your impact.

5. Stasher bags are a great alternative to using plastic too.

The number of plastic sandwich baggies I was frivolously using occurred to me when all 3 of my kiddos were in school. Every day, I was using at least 3 baggies per lunch! 😱 That’s 45 sandwich bags in just one week and not including the other bags I was using when it was convenient.

That’s about 4 boxes of these Ziploc sandwich bags per month! If I stayed on that track, I was projected to spend about $253.92 or more just on baggies each year that had a lifespan of fewer than 24 hours. 😳

We completely switched to Stasher Bags over three years ago and haven’t looked back. In fact, all of mine still look brand new and NONE of them have stained, ripped, or gone in the trash! 😱

They’re 100% silicone, easy to open and close, freezer and microwave-safe, and sous vide-safe. Plus, they’re even oven-ready and can even be thrown in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleaning! They’re endlessly reusable, extremely durable, and come in any size you need.

If you’ve been hesitating to give them a try, check out my full review on Stasher bags.

7. Earth Day is a great day to choose to make better choices when it comes to cleaning too. 

Depending on what cleaners you’re using at home, they could be contributing to health problems according to the EPA. The Nest states that families, on average, are spending a whopping $600 every year for cleaning supplies. Not to mention, they’re likely horrible for the environment since many aren’t 100% biodegradable and contain chemicals.

Your home should be a safe place and not just on Earth Day. That’s why you should make the switch to cleaner and more eco-friendly cleaning products if you haven’t already.

When you make more conscious choices, it will ultimately be better for you, your family, and the planet. From effective toilet cleaners to game-changing laundry detergents safely clean your home with our top recommended natural cleaning products! Even better, we included a DIY version for every single one! 🙌🏻

Want just one effective cleaning product that does it ALL and is completely eco-friendly too?!

Even the most eco-friendly products need to be replaced. So regardless if you’ve found the cleanest of them all, we have a better solution to minimize your waste altogether AND it will cut your costs by at least 80%. 🙌🏼

Force of Nature is a federal EPA-registered disinfectant and sanitizer that NATURALLY kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses – even COVID. 😱 That’s right, it uses just water, salt, and vinegar and can be used to replace bleach, disinfectants, sanitizers, deodorizers, kitchen, bathroom, window, carpet, rug, floor, pet, sports, and baby product cleaners. 🤯

It’s a splurge up front but once you own this unique system, the refill capsules come out to just 9 cents per ounce and completely eliminate single-use plastic bottles. Plus, the Recyclable Activator Capsules reduce plastic waste by 97%. It doesn’t get more Earth-friendly than that friends! 👏🏻
