In today’s digital world, convenience and speed are key. Gone are the days when online shopping pertained only to clothing, as today’s consumers rely on online stores for everything from home good and accessories to groceries and furniture. But as online shopping continues to grow, so do emissions and the use of single-use plastic used for shipping, in addition to other pesky packaging products like packing peanuts and cardboard boxes.

Thankfully, there are plenty of eco-friendly online stores out there for those who enjoy the ease of online shopping, but prefer to avoid retailers with mixed sustainability records. We’ve found sustainably-minded shops that reduce excess packaging waste, offset their emissions, or support other good causes.

Here, our favorite eco-friendly online stores that are striving for a better planet for us all.

With clothing, accessories, home goods, tech products, beauty and personal care items, pet supplies, outdoor gear, and even travel items, Earth Hero is pretty much a one-stop shop for all things eco-friendly.
