So glad you asked! We prefer products and services that offer:
- 1. Affordable pricing
- 2. Recycled and recyclable packaging
- 3. High-end aesthetic (no burlap!)
- 4. Non-synthetic chemicals when possible
- 5. Organic and locally-sourced ingredients
- 6. Online or widespread availability in stores
- 7. Fair trade materials
- 8. No ammonia, chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, SLS or other potential toxins
- 9. No animal testing of any kind (unless you count pet product testing by one of our resident experts, Jen's corgi, Cricket)
- 10. New / unique / fun eco-lifestyles ideas - we love to give Biters the scoop on the latest and greatest in light green living!
