Wade sells a number of products from companies like Purify You, Burstenhaus Redecker and others, including reusable cotton totes and cloths, beeswax wraps, the aforementioned reusable straws, silicon baggies that work like Ziplocs but remain washable, as well as water bottles, travel coffee cups and more. To cap it all off, she’s created a small and simple yet powerful checklist to place by your door so you don’t forget your stuff when you head out. We’ve all walked into a grocery store only to remember we left our reusable bags at home, and this checklist aims to alleviate that. “I’m trying to come up with gentle ways to not life-shame people,” Wade tells SFR. “How do you get people to not think these little things don’t matter, and to change their lifestyles? We’re all really overwhelmed and bummed out—there’s a lot of bad news always, and I think it kind of has this opposite effect, this counter-productive effect of making us feel paralyzed.”
