Here, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite companies and products making some of these decisions a little easier. From bags to sweatshirts to yoga mats, you can buy these products knowing that you have the planet’s welfare in mind.

Updated November 2020: We’ve added new items like the Cariuma’s Catiba Pro Sneakers, Madewell’s (Re)sourced Cashmere Turtleneck, and Elate Cosmetics’ Creme Revealer.
