FuturePartner Rad Power Bikes sells superb electrified transportation that can suit everyone’s needs. From off-road traversal to a quick urban ride, Rad Power has the bike for you!
Another great e-bike brand we recommend is Vectron, specifically their S10, which is great for families who want to ride around their local neighborhoods.
If you need to a quick ride somewhere and need to call an Uber, we suggest you try Uber Green, which primarily uses low-emission vehicles for rides.

One way to reduce your food waste is to use grocery delivery services like Misfit Markets. These services sell imperfect produce and sustainably package it at an affordable price.
Similar to Misfit Markets, Imperfect Foods is a grocery delivery service that resells unwanted produce from retailers, mitigating food waste while saving you money!
Instead of discarding leftover vegetables, such as carrot leaves or leftover celery stalk, you can repurpose them to create veggie stock for future meals.
Other vegetable and fruit leftovers can also be used for meals, such as the skin of peeled produce. Carrot skins are a great ingredient for stir fries, for example.
Reducing your meat consumption is one of the best things to do for the planet. Try vegan protein options instead!
Don’t throw food scraps in the trash! Compost them to save them from emitting methane gas in a landfill.
During the cold wintry seasons, you may not need to always rely on a gas-burning furnace. Instead, try opting for the extremely energy efficient heat pump instead. They can also help cool your house, too!
To further reduce your house’s carbon footprint, we strongly recommend installing solar panels. It dramatically reduces your electricity bill and is easier and cheaper to install them than ever!
Cutting the cord from your local gas pipeline is a major step towards making your home as green as possible. Investing in electric appliances such as stovetops, ovens, water heaters, and dryers can accelerate the transition away from fossil fuel energy.

Laundry soap bars function similarly to detergent pods, except they are made from organic materials with no plastic.
Stocking up on glass bottles to use for cleaning sprays is a great way to reduce your plastic waste. Homemade solutions such as white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide also get the job done without using toxic chemicals.
Shopping for new clothes can be costly and bad for the environment. Thrift stores are a great sustainable alternative, as well as a great way to find insane bargains.
