Most Sustainable Mother’s Day Gifts

No one is more nurturing than Mom. This year, give that love back while also giving some big love to the mother of all mothers, Mother Earth. The best way to show gratitude to your mom and the planet is by selecting sustainable Mother’s Day gifts.

How can you ensure your gift is eco friendly and sustainable? There are a few things you should look for in your shopping process:

Does the brand provide proof of ethical sourcing? Find out where your gift’s materials were sourced. Were the workers there treated fairly?
Is your gift guaranteed plastic free, BPA free, and phthalate free? These factors should be clearly indicated on the product’s website or packaging.
What is your gift’s overall carbon footprint? A quality brand provides information on the sustainbility and recyclability of your product selection. You should also be able to easily locate how the product was created — was the process eco friendly, non-toxic and good for the planet?
Will your Mother’s Day gift benefit your mom’s health? Look for gift options that provide ongoing health benefits for mom. For example, replacing plastic with food grade stainless steel or silicone eliminates harmful microplastics from leaching into her food, beverages and leftovers.

Now that you know how to identify a quality product with lasting health benefits and eco friendly features, it’s time to find that perfect Mother’s Day gift.
