Better Band-Aids

Whether it’s a slice from a dull knife, papercut, or bug bite, protecting small, painful wounds from further distress improves healing. While not the largest contributor to overflowing landfills, each piece of plastic remains in our environment for eons.

Our friends Laura & Gil Richardson are, in their own words, “imperfect” but they are much further down this Planetarian path than anyone I know. They are a treasure trove of sustainable living inspiration and we’ve asked them to share one simple swap per week that they’ve made (and the products they love) in hopes it might inspire you to make them, too.
