In This Article:

Now more than ever can we relate to germaphobes. COVID-19 has made us all re-evaluate our daily habits and how we clean our everyday objects and protect ourselves from germs, but are we also re-evaluating what these supplies' impacts are on the planet? With the influx of people wanting to sanitize anything and everything, these five products make sure you're staying squeaky clean in a smart and sustainable way!

1. Green Works Compostable Cleaning Wipes

Green Works provides an alternative to Clorox wipes while still keeping everything clean and de-germed.

They work to:

" • Remove dirt and grime... to clean any surface around your home

•...biodegrade and can be tossed in the compost to help reduce waste

• Get a powerful clean with these multi-purpose wipes in a pleasant Original Fresh scent

• Safely wipe down messes in any room on multiple surfaces including counters, appliances, sinks and toilets

• ...naturally derived cleaning wipes don't use harsh chemical fumes or leave behind a residue"

2. Casetify UV Sanitizer

This UV Sanitizer does it all, and it's something we all could use more than ever considering how much time we're probably spending with electronic devices. From your phone to your headphones this case utilizes UV light to kill bacteria and germs off your electronic devices without harming them. Per its description on Casetify's website, "it destroys 99.9% of germs that live on your phone's surface, and 100% of its proceeds go to GlobalGiving's Coronavirus Relief Fund."

3. Zoë Chicco Foaming Jewelry Cleaner

https://zoechicco.com/products/zoe-chicco-foaming-jewelry-cleaner?variant=13723372060747&currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm9D0BRCMARIsAIfvfIYpRKp3yrWQN1HdHKgEckWu6xkyOEXyxHpIQN8cNppz0CU8BEdRhpcaArDZEALw_wcB

Jewelry is something that you don't probably think to sanitize very often, as we have a tendency to keep it on our bodies majority of the time, or in a storage where we assume that it hasn't been in contact with anything else. Your jewelry can pick up lots of germs from every day wear, and whether it's fashion jewelry or the real deal you definitely need to give it some extra attention here and there to sanitize it and give it a little extra shine. Zoë Chicco's foaming formula is BIODEGRADABLE, and comes with a cute little brush for you to scrub all the nitty gritty crevices in your favorite pieces! I's also super gentle so it won't harm any precious stones or metals!

4. Clean Safety Green Eco-Vinyl 4mil Disposable Gloves

These gloves are the first and only post-consumer disposable glove on the planet while maintaining the same high quality performance and protection of our standard vinyl gloves.

5. Purell Green Certified Instant Hand Sanitizer

YES! You read that right, everyone's trusted hand sanitizer Purell is now available in sustainable packaging! According to their estimations, this new packaging option will save more than 250 TONS of plastic packaging across all products within their systems. SO, next time you're shopping make sure you look for this eco-friendly version of your fav hand sanitizer and recycle that bottle once you clean out that sucker!

Remember, your safety and that of your loved ones is always important! Please take care of yourself and do your part by staying home and social distancing!

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
