22 of April '24

On April 22, we celebrate Earth Day. On this occasion, we present 7 gadgets that will help you live more sustainable.

Reusable water bottle

This is a simple and practical solution to reduce plastic consumption and save money. All you have to do is fill it with water from your tap or filtered pitcher and take it with you. It's a small gesture that can make a big difference.

Food containers

Storing food in special containers keeps it fresh for longer and prevents it from going to waste. This also reduces the use of disposable packaging. The containers are transparent, so you can easily see what's in our refrigerator. Choose boxes that are multifunctional and will work for a variety of situations, from organizing your pantry, to packing healthy snacks or serving dishes, to storing leftovers.

Rechargeable batteries

These devices are used to store electricity and make it available for power appliances. They are often used as a replacement for disposable batteries, which helps to reduce waste and brings many benefits to both the environment and your wallet.

Energy-efficient light bulb

This eco-friendly alternative uses much less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs while generating the same level of light. Energy-efficient bulbs also have a much longer lifespan. LED models can shine for up to 25,000 hours, compared to the 1,000-2,000 hour lifespan of a standard incandescent bulb. In addition, energy-efficient bulbs generate less heat, which reduces the usage of air conditioning during warm days, which contributes to energy savings.

Mist nozzle for sink faucet

Sustainable living doesn't have to be time-consuming. You can choose products that generate savings on their own. One of them is a special nozzle. It uses up to 95% less water in mist mode and 66% in spray mode compared to standard basin faucets.

Waste separation basket

Having diffrent compartments in the waste segregation garbage can makes it easier to separate different types of trash, such as paper, plastic, metal or glass. Each compartment can be marked with the appropriate symbol or color for easy identification. Having a clearly marked waste separation garbage will serve as a reminder to recycle and care for the environment. Thanks to this, household members, especially children, will be more inclined to sort waste properly.

Sprouting box

A terra cotta sprouting box will create optimal conditions for seeds, providing them with enough moisture to grow quickly and healthily. How to use it? Place the seeds in a pot, put it on the windowsill and enjoy fresh herbs straight from your own cultivation.
