One Bottle. One Tree. St Ives have made the amazing commitment to plant a tree, each time they sell a bottle of gin. They have teamed up with Rising Forest to make their tasty concoctions as environmentally kind as they can. Buy a St Ives bottle with the #Gandtree tag and help offset 255,000lbs of carbon. That’s the CO2 equivalent of driving over a million miles by car. Infused with foraged botanicals, fresh herbs and unique aromas, it has a fragrance that will transport you to the forest you’re helping to foster.

New eco-friendly store, Aube, have found a way to make your cuts completely cruelty-free. Their bamboo activated charcoal plasters have some enviable eco credentials. They are made from 100% bamboo fibre and activated charcoal, so they're fully biodegradable. They are also plastic, silicon, latex, paraben and chemical free. The materials from which they are made help to draw infections and impurities out of your wound. This makes them ideal for the sensitive skinned adventure junky. Extra virtue points to Aube for making them vegan too!

Laundry just got more eggciting (sorry). This mineral based clothes washing system, the eco-egg, works without whisking any harsh chemicals into your clothes. Featuring an Allergy Friendly Product Award, the eco egg will neither niggle your skin, nor fry your planet and acts as a replacement for laundry detergent and conditioner. Throw it into the drum of your washing machine and let the natural mineral pellets scramble together to eggspell dirt and odours. No powder, liquid, tablets, gels, or fabric softener required. Your pocket will be more lightly poached too, as these eggs last longer and cost less per use.

There is a range of seven flavours, including choc orange swirl, double caramel and rum‘n raisin. Certified organic, Coconuts Organic is causing non-dairy ice cream to become one of our favourite summer trends.

Are you no good at cooking tofu? Does it always end up a bit spongey and weird? The key is to press it, and Tofufuture want to make sure everyone knows how to make it as delicious as possible at home. You need to get rid of the water it comes in, so it can absorb the flavour, which their nifty press does easily.
