Spirits, Wine & Beer

Crafting the drinks we toast with — from spirits to wine to beer — carries a real footprint. Today, distillers, winemakers and brewers are rethinking traditions through regenerative farming, greener ingredients, cleaner energy and circular packaging. Whether it’s a bottle, a can or a cocktail, these innovations make raising a glass lighter on the planet.

Healthier & Greener Drinks

Raising a glass can be lighter on the planet and more meaningful for the people who make and enjoy it. From regenerative vineyards and sustainable distilleries to circular packaging and cleaner energy, the way our drinks are crafted is evolving toward a more responsible future.

Energy & Appliances

Choosing energy-efficient, all-electric appliances-such as induction cooktops, heat pump water heaters, and electric dryers-can significantly reduce energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels.

Opting for LED lighting, smart thermostats, and renewable energy sources like solar power further lowers your carbon footprint.

Furniture & Decor

Sustainable furniture and décor made from reclaimed wood, recycled materials, or non-toxic finishes help create a healthier living space. Choosing secondhand pieces can also extend product life and reduce the demand for new resource-intensive production.

Home Textiles

For bedding and linens, materials matter. Organic cotton avoids heavy pesticide use, hemp grows quickly with little input, and bamboo can be a sustainable option when responsibly processed. Look for natural dyes, durable weaves, and certifications that ensure safer, longer-lasting products.

Cleaning & Home Care

Greener cleaning means safer ingredients and smarter packaging. Non-toxic, biodegradable formulas keep chemicals out of waterways, while refill systems and concentrates help cut down on single-use plastics.

Outdoor & Garden

Outdoor and garden choices shape both our living space and local ecosystems. Opt for native plants, drip irrigation, and electric equipment like mowers or blowers to save water and cut emissions. For outdoor furniture, look for durable pieces made from recycled or sustainably sourced materials that can weather the seasons without frequent replacement.
