  • Description: While the bedding may be made with plant-based materials, like cotton and wood pulp, the raw materials still go through various manufacturing processes, some of which can even synthetically alter them, explains GH Textiles Lab Director Lexie Sachs. Almost anything from your kitchen and garden can go into the bin, including eggshells, cut flowers, coffee grounds (and paper filters), old newspapers, tea and tea bags, hair, toothpicks and matches. Green waste, including fruit and veggie scraps, grass clippings and coffee or tea leaves, supplies the compost with nitrogen, key for healthy soil. Cleaning products with plant-based ingredients, like Tide PurClean Laundry Detergent, are generally safer for the environment.
