Think Wisely - Earth Day

Welcome to Earth Month!

May we all be inspired this April to use our grocery choices to support a brighter, more regenerative future for our planet. And to this end—we’ve curated a collection of brands leading the way with their practices!

Being Green Is in the Details—If You Care

If You Care productsSometimes, it’s the small things that make the big difference. The daily details, like coffee filters, aluminum foil, and trash bags. Because the environmental footprint of these small things adds up—from the energy required to produce them, to landfill waste, to toxic chemicals leaching into waterways. And, that’s why If You Care exists—to create high-quality household essentials that leave as small a footprint on the planet as possible. It’s why they introduced the first unbleached coffee filters in North America in 1990. And, it’s why they later launched the first 100% recycled aluminum foil—featuring 95% energy savings compared to manufacturing virgin aluminum. With certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council® to USDA biobased—If You Care has proof that they do care. So, the only question is—do you?
