Cow 3D Dishwasher Cover

 When it comes to making swaps to create a more sustainable home, it makes sense to start in the kitchen. Grocery stores, food prep, and cooking all offer lots of small ways to make more eco-conscious decisions, whether you’re trying to reduce the amount of trash you’re producing, minimize food waste across the supply chain, or use less energy in your cooking habits. Here are nine items that can help you achieve your green goals.

1. Misfits Market Cow 3D Dishwasher Cover 

Misfits Market boxes include produce with minor imperfections that would otherwise go to waste.

You may have heard about how much food gets tossed before it even reaches grocery stores—Misfits Market is doing its part to reduce that waste. They sell produce (and other grocery items) that have been rejected from grocery stores for visual reasons: they’re a little misshapen or otherwise deemed not good enough for traditional retail.

Misfits Market allows you to build your own box, which they deliver to your home, all for significantly cheaper than what you’d pay at the grocery store. We loved this service when we tested because it pushed us to get creative in the kitchen.

Try Misfits Market starting at $22 per box

2. Compost bucket

The Epica stainless steel compost bin is the best indoor bin we tested.

Composting is an excellent way to remove food waste from the trash cycle. Lots of cities have companies that will pick up your compost on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for a super-affordable price, or you can opt to set up your own compost system if you have the outdoor space.

Either way, you’ll need some sort of compost bucket to live in your kitchen. The best indoor compost bin we tested is the 1.3-Gallon Epica Stainless Steel Compost Bin. We love it because it's easy to clean, durable, and doesn't omit the smells often associated with compost.

Get the Epica Stainless Steel Compost Bin, 1.3-Gallon on Amazon for $21.95

3. Plastic-free sponges

Old biodegradable sponges can be tossed in the compost when it's time for new ones.

The average sponge is made up mostly of plastic, but there are tons of biodegradable alternatives including, yes, actual sea sponge. A good option is these McDils Natural Scrubber Sponges made of cotton fibers, coconut husk, wood pulp, and plant-derived cellulose. Plus, they can go straight into your compost bucket when they’re past their prime.
