Did you know that toothbrushes alone add 50 million pounds of waste to landfills every year?! 😱

Plastic toothbrushes take hundreds of years to actually break down because of what they are made of, whereas bamboo toothbrushes take about 6 months.

So next time you need a new toothbrush try out a plastic free alternative like our bamboo toothbrush! Clean teeth have never felt so good ❤️🌍

Life becomes a lot less complicated with a lot less crap...

Seriously, try it.

It is International Day of Clean Air ☀️🎉☁️

This year’s theme is “Healthy Air, Healthy Planet!” This theme’s focus is on prioritizing the need for healthy air for all, while keeping the conversation broad enough to encompass other critical issues such as climate change.

Today, we want to encourage all of you to join us in our call to action to align our efforts and claim the right to clean air.

How are you celebrating International Day of Clean Air?

Sustainable doesn’t need to mean boring 🥱

Our Mountains Swedish Dishcloth is anything but boring! Along with a design that will make you smile, our Swedish Dishcloths are reusable, super absorbent, dishwasher safe, and fully compostable.

These types of dishcloths have been used widely throughout Scandinavian countries like Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, and are quickly gaining popularity in the States. Make sure to hop on this awesome, sustainable trend early and snag yourself a few Swedish Dishcloths.

Happy ❤️☀️

In the last year we were eating outside more than ever due to indoor dining restrictions, and I think we all can agree we found a new appreciation for spending time outdoors. Grab your bff and your favorite snacks and enjoy the sun!

Today we celebrate . 101 years ago the 19th Amendment was adopted and granted some women the right to vote and prohibited the government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States based on their s*x. Although this was a huge step for women everywhere, women of color were still not given the same rights for several decades.

We want to acknowledge that women have faced and are continuing to face systematic discrimination and we will continue to fight for equality for women all around the world. ❤️🌍

We are so excited to introduce you to our founder, Maytal! Here is what she has to say about Eden Life 💗⁠
⁠
"Starting Eden Life was truly out of a passion for both sustainability and also the love of creating beautiful spaces. My husband and I love to travel and couldn’t believe how much plastic waste was in every place we visited - especially in the ocean!! We went through years of minimizing and slowly removing plastic products from our everyday lives. Having seen how easy some of the swaps were in my daily life, I sought out to curate beautiful and effective products so everyone would have a one-stop-shop for all their zero waste needs. My background in fashion as well as several mission-based startups really cultivated the idea that saving the planet and creating beautiful things can live in the same world. My vision and hope is that these products can be a part of everyone’s routine because we truly believe that sustainability happens in those everyday moments."⁠
⁠
Let's show Maytal some love 🥰⁠

Going plastic free and zero waste can be a big adjustment and overwhelming at times. We get it and are here to help!

What questions or hesitations do you have about zero waste living? Comment below and we'll answer!

So you want in on zero waste life? Let's do it 🤩

The first step in working towards zero waste is learning how to produce LESS waste. Here are 3 actions you can start taking TODAY to produce less waste 💚

✨ Use up what you have first! Throwing away all your current items and replacing them with something more sustainable is just producing more waste. Use what you have in stock and slowly replace with reusable products!

✨ Do you love coffee as much as we do? Start bringing a reusable mug or tumbler on your Starbucks runs.

✨ Learn the rules of recycling! Recycling incorrectly results in more waste!

Be sure to follow us for more tips and tricks on zero waste living!

Don't worry we got you.

So what is Eden Life anyway? Eden life is your one stop shop for zero waste beauty & home-cleaning products that make your life easier and the planet healthier. We knew that there needed to be change, and we decided that change starts by taking small yet powerful actions! As we started our search for eco-friendly and plastic-free products we started to see how few options there really were. We set out to change that.

Eden Life was born on this simple mission: Educate, Inspire and Give Back.

✏️ Educate our community about the realities we humans face living on this planet.

✨ Inspire the return to living a simple yet beautiful life while being part of the change towards sustainability.

❤️ Give Back to the organizations that are doing the heavy lifting in cleaning the oceans, replanting trees, and have boots on the ground on this mission to reverse climate change. 10% of all profits are donated to Oceana, Rainforest Foundation, and The Sierra Club.

Ever thought of how the smallest thing can have such a huge impact?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ocean pollution is no joke, 8 million metric tons of plastic enters our oceans each year (Ocean Conservancy). Since most of us are visual people, that’s like dumping a full garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute of every day, for a whole year. This is a lot, and it takes a toll on our ocean and therefore our earth as a whole. 🐟🐡🐠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While 100% of the ocean’s plastic pollution isn’t from disposable swabs, they are responsible for a measurable chunk. But don’t fret, it’s easy to reduce this impact because now carries a bamboo fully compatible version! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌴🥥 We’re crazy for coconuts! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that coconuts are known as “The Zero-Waste Plant”?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coconuts are sometimes referred to as the “Tree of Life” because every part can be used. The outer shell can be used to make armor, instruments, cloth, and art. The inside can be used for drink, food, fuel and fiber. Plus it smells so damn good!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our case, we love our coconut brushes, oils, and soaps.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Fun fact Friday...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎋Bamboo (like this toothbrush and soap dish) is the fastest growing plant on this planet. It has been recorded growing at an amazing 47.6 inches in a 24 hour period.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳Bamboo is a crucial element in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A grove of bamboo release 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌲Bamboo is a viable replacement for wood. It is also one of the strongest building materials. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
