When it comes to the limiting our impact on the environment, it’s important that all of us do our bit.
But sometimes it’s hard to know where to find products that are genuinely eco-friendly.
To help you make a difference, this week’s Hot List is dedicated to sustainable cleaning products, decor, accessories and furniture.
Choose from ocean-friendly carpets, pegs and shopping bags or fully-recycled glass bottles and vases.
Trying to stay up-to-date while reducing your carbon footprint? You can even rent a sofa for a zero-waste home update.
