✨a crowd favourite and an excellent plastic-free way to filter your water!
•
🏕Perfect for camping, the cottage or in your home-office water carafe.
•
Made in the Kishu region in Japan, Binchotan Charcoal (sustainably harvested branches of Japanese Oak) absorbs impurities from water, while releasing natural minerals into it – resulting in pure, great tasting water.
•
The charcoal is activated through extremely high temperatures in a kiln and then a rapid cooling process.
•
Binchotan charcoal has an alkaline effect, softening and improving the taste of your water.
•
The charcoal can be re-used as water filter for up to 3-4 months.
🌱After that, it can be easily recycled as a deodorizer or broken and placed into your garden, providing nutrients and creating extra pockets of water and air in the soil.

🔥Here’s a quick recipe for your automatic dishwasher that will make your dishes sparkle and shine!
*
•Citric Acid is great for removing calcium scale
•Borax deodorizes and disinfects.
•Washing soda is a great stain remover and water softener.
•Rock Salt helps to soften water and reduce lime scale build-up.

*🥄Add one tablespoon of your mix into soap dispenser tray

💡Tip: Diluted 12% vinegar, is a great eco friendly rinse agent

Cotton mesh produce bags are an excellent #plasticfree alternative that are compact, useful and cost-effective.

🍑Store thicker skinned fruits and veggies like carrots, peaches, apples and oranges in a cotton mesh produce bag in the refrigerator.

🧅 Produce like onions, tomatoes, potatoes and garlic thrive in a well-ventilated environment. Hang your drawstring mesh bag in a cool, dark spot or place in a dark corner on your countertop.

🥬 Leafy greens like lettuce, kale and cilantro prefer a more damp environment. Instead of a damp paper towel, moisten the cotton mesh bag. The dampened fabric will keep your produce crisp and fresh longer.

🥑 If you don’t have a paper bag, store your delicate produce like avocados, mushrooms and berries in our cotton mesh bag, in your crisper.

💡Tip: To ensure you are always prepared, keep a cotton mesh produce bag at your front door, in your car or in your shoulder bag.

Plastic pollution has widespread effects such as human and marine species health, safety and security, contributing to climate change.

The Green Jar takes climate action seriously, that’s why we’re taking part in Plastic Free July with Random Acts of Green this summer.

Plastic free July is to challenge people about their single-use plastic consumption and encourage sustainable habits.

This pledge demonstrates our commitment to a more sustainable future.

Plastics now make up 90% of all trash floating on the ocean surface (Recycle Coach).

And plastic outnumbers sea Life at 6:1.

Plastic in the ocean leads to ingestion, entanglement and suffocation of marine species (IUCN 2021). Plastic pollution is a huge threat to not only marine species but the overall larger ocean health.

This summer, The Green Jar™️ is participating in the Plastic Free July Challenge with Random Acts of Green, to help combat plastic pollution.

This pledge aims to challenge people about their single-use plastic consumption and encourage sustainable habits. This pledge demonstrates our commitment to a more sustainable future.
