Smart picks for the kitchen, porch, and bedroom.

With the launch of Amazon Aware, a line of carbon-neutral pieces spanning home, fashion, and beauty, Amazon re-imagined the conscious shopping landscape. The products all feature different feel-good elements, from dresses made with Organic Content Standard (OCS) certified organic cotton to beauty essentials encased in recycled aluminum (with refills to order when yours runs low).

We turned our attention to the household categories to highlight the options that deserve a try. Our edit of consciously created items to tap range from recycled paper goods to a carbon-neutral window planter made of rich Acacia wood—and every single one will elevate the look and feel of your home, making it a better—more beautiful—place to live.

Spills happen. To lower your impact on the earth, stop with the disposable paper towel when it’s time to wipe up. These soft cloths do the job just as well and can be tossed in the washing machine after and used again and again.

Towels take a beating. The next time you need to replace a set that’s seen better days, opt for an organic cotton version. The collection includes a ribbed option and plenty of soothing neutrals to pretty up your bathroom.

Whether you’ve got a sprawling backyard or a postage-stamp-sized stoop, if your outdoor space is an area you love, you’ll end up using it more. This pretty checkered table is made with recycled pine pallet wood and does double duty as both decor and an easy place to set your coffee cup.

On the occasions you do need a paper towel (think: as quick napkin or to deal with a mess that needs to go straight into the trash), reach for ones that are made with 100% recycled paper, without added dyes, inks, fragrances, or chlorine bleaching. These fit the bill and come wrapped in thin paper, not a plastic film.

Treat yourself to a new set of high thread-count sheets made in soft, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified cotton. Amazon Aware’s option comes in a reusable cotton bag (read: not plastic) and are soft, stylish, and machine washable.

Window boxes are pretty no matter the season; fill yours with flowers or herbs for your kitchen (a smart way to cut down on grocery waste). This matching set of two is certified carbon neutral and ready to add color, scent, or spice to your home throughout the year.

The best way to combat dry skin is to keep lotion easily accessible. This nourishing, moisturizing option is made without added fragrance to avoid irritation and comes in a refillable, recycled aluminum bottle that fits with the decor in any room of your home—all of which means you’ll use it for years to come.
